I chopped off the tip of my index finger about 20 years ago and then got it sewn back on. Another dude I was working with did the same and didn’t get it sewn back on. Four years later, his was good as new, and mine was healed but I couldn’t press on it without a lot of pain. I had to give up playing the guitar, and still can’t press on the strings. Typing is a little bit weird because I can’t feel the keys, and I end up in slightly wrong positions because you’re supposed to be able to feel the little nubs on the home row.
- tempestn 5y agoI suppose... in theory you could chop it off again. (Presumably not worth it if it's only in pain under significant pressure though.) Probably not something you'd want to do yourself. I actually kind of wonder if you could find a surgeon willing to do it!
- jl2718 5y agoI’ve tried some funny shuffle like sanding it down and doing hundreds of punctures with a needle. It always seems to grow back as scar tissue. I think I might have to chop it deeper into the good part, and that might not work out as planned.
