It's a ****** painful thing, I promise you that. One of the worst pains in my life. My pinky finger on my left hand was cut/crushed off from the bottom of the finger nail up when I was a teenager. The tip of my finger is as hard as a rock under the skin there now. I guess there's no tissue padding, just bone. 
Does that mangled left pinky affect your piano playing when you doing octaves for example?
