I was changing the drive shaft on my old Chevy blazer when I was about 17. I didn't have any help. So I was trying to hold the (back) end of the shaft up with my foot while I was tightening the bands on the (front) u-joint. Yea , the shaft slipped of my boot, my thumb was pinched in between the u-joint end cap and ear on the yoke with the weight of the whole shaft hanging on it. Needless to say it was smashed pretty bad. Probably should have went to see someone about it, but young and ( it will be OK) took over. after about 10-12 years I finally regained most of the feeling in it.
Consider yourself lucky that you cant feel it. We all know how many times a day we bump that finger after we just smashed it.
