I've been to every doctor imaginable, including a neurologist (sp?). Still no relief. The pain management specialist is now trying injections which are pretty painful. If this doesn't work the finger is coming off.
How did you f the finger up?
My Cuz just cut his finger off last month with a chop saw. Hes a pilot too.

The did a couple graphs and built him a new finger, sewed it tpo the finger next to it for circulation so far so good.

I did nothing to it that i remember, just started swelling and hurting one day and the pain amplified from there. Been dealing with it for two years, seen countless doctors and specialists and no one can tell me $hit. I've asked them to cut it off several times and they all say, "No, we can figure this out". I could still throttle with four fingers.

Wow that sucks. Nothing worse than not knowing whats up but I have to tell you that even if you cut that Biotch off it may still hurt. Had a freind forom a jobsite get something ampt and it hurt him even after it was gone. Happens allot so just understand that before you make that big descision.

Id try some hypnosis or something like that! YOu never know what may work and anything is worth a shot before making your finger fish food IMO

The Banana is my brother's boat. He wants to sell it but doesn't want to loose all that $$$ he put into building it. I don't blame him it is nice. I wish we could put a few more hours on it though. Still looking for props for top speed.

Yep. I've been trying to burn as much fuel through it as possible. I have been tuning everything up. I had to replace the injectors on the starboard engine. Once I did that It ran like a champ all day. I was having so much fun with it that I forgot to look at the fuel gauge and ran out heading into a marina. Here are some camera phone shots. i haven't done any cosmetic work to it yet because I wanted to run the $hit out of it before Winter.

Looking good wade.

It ended up being a pretty nice boat from the looks of it and for the right money.

I am sure once you get done with the complete clean up it will look incredible. Just needed an owner who cared about her and took care of it better.

did you ever get that finger figured out yet?

Ran into a guy I knew, the other day said his fingers had turned black, Couldnt figure it out went to every DR around finally found out it was cause he was smoking CHinese cigarettes. NO BS

Stopped smoking them and his fingers came back just like before. Crazy stuff.
