Kim Kardashian revealed she severed one of her fingertips in a shock injury she described as 'more painful than childbirth.'
The 43-year-old left her fans baffled and concerned when she surfaced in February and March with bandages on two of her fingers.
At the time, she refrained from explaining how exactly she hurt herself - but now it appears the answer is about to finally go public.

The jaw-dropping moment came when Kim visited a doctor to check on the state of her recovery from her mysterious incident.

She removed her splint and bared her stump, prompting the doctor to remark: 'Oh, it looks great,' and Kim to incredulously reply: 'You think that looks great?'
Kim then underwent an X-ray examination and shared in a confession: 'The, like, tip broke off. It was like, more painful than childbirth.'
She has four children with her third and latest ex-husband Kanye West - North, 11, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five.
Kim carried and gave birth to the elder two children herself, and then welcomed her younger two children via surrogacy.
Although the sneak peek did not let slip how exactly she sustained her injury, the true story will likely be revealed on next week's full episode of the series.
One day before Valentine's Day, Kim posted an Instagram glamour album in which two of her fingers noticeably had splints on them.
Her digits were still bandaged up at the beginning of March when she was spotted sauntering over to the Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week.
