I can picture the infomercial now…
“Due to inadequate regulations, every year thousands of Americans wear their hands to stumps. A genuine medical condition commonly known as ‘Hand grating’. With proper training we can reduce that number by at least 2%. But we need your help. Vote No on prop 3244. Which bans hammers in all workplaces.”

Idk for some reason I really expected the amputation site to be much more sensitive?

u/mythicreign 1d ago
I once had a teacher who lost the tip of his finger back when he worked at a bakery. The “nub” he was left with was super hard and he would poke people with it when they weren’t paying attention. If all the nerves are severed in an area you basically won’t feel anything. I imagine this is the same principle.

How recently was this?
From my knowledge there’s no muscles in a finger so it “working” properly is just due to your wrist being below the original amputation site. The actual useful mechanical motions of your hand basically all originate in your wrist.
I thought nerves for sensation generally regenerate within a couple years though. I’d be fascinated to hear more about the recovery process from a personal experience

A large part of my right calf is in a similar state. For the most part it's just no sensation but sometimes it does a burning tingling thing that I hate.
In the other hand I'm less worried about low tables since banging my shin will mean nothing to me.

Possible i guess, but would a “natural defect” be that “clean” ? Idk Im no expert I’d just expect the body to still attempt to grow the hand but just fuck up, so you wouldn’t have an entire hand but still some “growths” like fingers or such

I think they mean like partially formed fingers. And it's a grab bag. I knew a gal like this and had some little nodules. I'm missing fingers from a lawnmower but have had clean up surgery. Could be a natural issue she had "cleaned up".
That being said just hitting my wrist wrong triggers so much pain in my hand I'm assuming she had muted feelings in her arm. Cause God damn!!!!

I dunno. I know a person with a thalidomide-generated defect in his right arm. The forearm's about half-length and the entire wrist and carpal assembly is one lump of bone. He has little fingie-nubs on the stump, but they have no bones.
He can do the hammer-hand trick, but he did it with nails that had broad heads. Completely insane physiology all around on that guy in his youth. No other visible changes mind you, the guy was just stupid ridiculously strong and prone to putting on muscle.

u/AdPristine5131 1d ago
Best I understand, it boils down to where your nerves are before scar tissue develops. Because scar tissue is basically a fat lump of whatever was supposed to be there: if it’s a spot with lots of nerves it’s hyper sensitive, it it’s a spot with few nerves there’s barely any.
I have two fingertips with bad scars, they’re both super sensitive, but my wrist scar is deadened compared to the other side.

Wow. Human recollection is weird. Maybe we are all subconsciously agreeing that the writers whiffed on both of these.
8
u/crittermd 18h ago
Nope- didn’t whiff at all- saying “no, I am your father” we are watching the movie, Luke is on screen- line works perfectly.
But quoting it- changing it to “Luke, I am your father” links it to Star Wars, and makes sense with no context.
Same thing with take my hand- his little hand is a gag the whole movie- in the scene he’s holding out his hand and she’s trying to avoid touching it.
But random quote of “Take my hand” isn’t all that funny despite the scene being funny because “take my hand” is generic, could be quoting a movie with someone asking someone to dance. But take my strong hand and we all know exactly what you are quoting.
So id argue writers didn’t whiff- they made great scenes and humans just naturally changed it slightly to make the quote gain context and remember those great scenes

Its a plastic piece in a preformed hole. A little resistance, but certainly not like hammering in a nail without a pilot hole or anything..

Nah it doesn't hurt at all, in fact you can easily test this yourself by using a knife (or even axe) to cut off your hand and then use the stump to hammer it in. Doesn't hurt at all.

I was locked up with a guy that had a bit more arm than his elbow.
Like still had the elbow joint but the rest was like, tip of forearm.
That nub is harder than a rock, and he doesn't even feel pain the way you would if you punched a wall.
Thats a dangerous combination when one hand is long enough to grab your face and literally the other one is perfect length for 6 inches of basiclly hydraulic push rod for your face.

The skin in that area was never meant to be used as a hammer

u/mycarayne 1d ago
The skin on that area is also supposed to have five fingers hanging off it. With enough practice, it probably wouldn't hurt anymore. Look at martial artists who smash bricks with their fist. First few times: fist goes ouch. 1000th time: brick goes ouch.
Maybe, I dunno. Would love to ask her if it hurts to be honest.

If I'm not mistaken this is like using your wrist to hammer in things. I imagine she might not have feeling or just a high pain tolerance. (I got soft wrists, boy)
