Well, depending on what you were doing, what you were working with, some strain of fungus could have gotten under your nail, or some bug that was infected could have bitten you.
In these cases, if you dind't notice and didn't have a full clean wash in that area, a fungus could have developed.
No wonder it hurt like hell, fungus is an entity that eats on anything that it's attached to, and because it was on your thumb (fingers in overall have a very high density of nerve endings on them) the pain was even greater.
What El Duderino said about the vodka was very true, if you had soaked your finger in vodka or spiritus (high density alcohol liquids, above 95%) it would have killed the fungus. Of course the best treatment is proper medication, but the vodka would have worked as well.
Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?
Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.
