Kim Kardashian said she amputated one of her fingertips in a shock injury she described as’more excruciating than childbirth,’ during a sneak peek for next week’s The Kardashians.

She removed her splint and exposed her stump, causing the doctor to say, ‘Oh, it looks beautiful,’ to which Kim responded incredulously, ‘You think that looks great?’

Kim then got an X-ray examination and confessed, “The, like, tip broke off.” It was more painful than childbirth.’

She has four children with her third and most recent ex-husband, Kanye West: North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5.

Kim carried and gave birth to her older two children herself before having her younger two children through surrogacy.

Although the sneak peek did not explain how she sustained her injury, the real narrative will most likely be revealed in next week’s complete episode of the series.

Kim shared an Instagram glamor album the day before Valentine’s Day, and two of her fingers were clearly splinted.

Her digits were still bandaged up when she was sighted at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week in early March.

As followers began to worry how she had injured herself, Kim shared an Instagram video in which she joked about her splints.
