Kim Kardashian suffered shock injury that caused 'more pain than childbirth'

Kim Kardashian has detailed a shocking injury that caused 'more pain than childbirth'.

Thanks to Keeping Up With the Kardashians and the subsequent The Kardashians, we know a lot about the famous family's lives.

And in the latest episode of the reality TV show set to air on July 18, Kim is recovering from a painful injury to the middle finger on her left hand.

In a preview clip for the upcoming episode, the Skims founder has a splint covering her middle finger as she visits a doctor’s for a checkup.

On top of that, her ring finger also appears to show a mark or injury at its tip.

Kim then removes the splint to show the doctor what looks like a bloody stump at the tip of her finger.

"Oh, it looks great," the doctor said in his initial assessment.

“You think that looks great?” Kim instantly responded, as she looked visibly shocked by what the health care professional has just said.

The reality TV star then went on to explain how the 'tip broke off', before adding: "It was, like, more painful than childbirth."

No details in the preview clip were provided as to how Kim injured her finger, though I'm sure all will be explained when the episode releases next week.

The 43-year-old did appear in public earlier this year with two fingers on her left hand bandaged up.

"I hurt myself, guys," Kim captioned an Instagram Reel back in March as she documented her injuries.

What reality TV shows featuring Kim have shown is that she lives a very luxurious lifestyle.

In 2015, in an interview with Vogue US, the Kardashian revealed when she was pregnant with her first child, North West - who she shares with ex-husband Ye (Kanye West) - she craved cheesecake.

Well, living in Los Angeles at the time, Kim was very far away from the cheesecake she craved, that served by Hotel Costes in Paris.

She told the outlet she doesn't even 'like cheesecake' but the one from that hotel is 'heaven'.

Of course, it's a little far to travel for a bit of cheesecake, but when you've got a private jet, does distance really matter?

Well, Kardashian admitted: "I flew in, maybe a couple months ago, just to have a last hurrah of all the food that I’m not going to be able to have for a while.

"And I get there, and they tell me they didn’t have it. And I was like, ‘You don’t understand! I leave tomorrow!’

"I think I flew for one night… And they said ‘Okay, we’re going to get it! And they got it and it really made my day’."
