I was getting up from sitting on the floor and forgot my earrings were sitting (straight up) next to me. I put all of my weight on the end and the earring went into my hand ( a good 1cm) I, after a few seconds of courage building and some choice words, pulled it out. I could feel it being pulled through my muscle. It went in right below the pointer finger in that meaty part of the hand. It is now swollen and I cannot move my pointer finger freely. It did not bleed but it has a fever now. It had been about 4 hours
