There’s a reason that phrase sticks around.
A stupid, tiny little nick from cutting my thumbnail too close on my right hand. I’m so right handed that if I broke my right arm I would starve to death before I learned to feed myself with my left hand only. So now, nearly a week after my horrific thumbnail clipping incident, I still am extremely aware of my sore thumb every single time I try to type (and I’m typing all day long), or use my computer trackball, or try to get my phone or wallet or keys out of my pocket, or try to use a pen, or eat with a fork or spoon, or…
You get the picture.
How can one itsy-bitsy little nick cause so much grief and trouble even a week later?!
I swear, next time I go to a manicurist and let them do it professionally. I’m not sure how that makes sense, but this is ridiculous.
(Yes, I’m a whiny woosie boy. This isn’t news.)

I’ve been having various sore fingers since just before Christmas. Then the wrists went. I’m sure it’ll settle down and I’ll adapt.
Good luck with your thumb.

The part that bugs me the most about the thumb is that it’s a self-inflicted injury due largely to being an idiot.
