I had a nurse use a device like a solder gun on my nails i do not think i have ever said so many foul words to another person in my life ! Oh that red hot thing went right though the nail blood shot out and hit the wall but did it ever hurt.
When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
My Dad used to say that to me every time I hurt myself growing up and it always irritated me. Just thought I would pass it on.
I nailed a thumb at work on a kurt mill vise with a dead blow hammer seating a stubborn part. No need for hole as the dead blow blew the end of the thumb out. I have drilled holes in smashed fingers for myself and others though. I have a small ( around 050 dia) drill set up in a light pin vise with only 1/8-3/16" sticking out. I picked up the spare pin vise someplace and dedicated it to be ready. It does help alot and the sooner its done the better. By using the pin vise it acts as a limit to how deep the drill can go.
Drilling helps a lot and the sooner you do it the better. If the nail fully bloodshot two or three holes are better and soaking it in an Epsom salt solution drawns the blood out and may save the nail.
Do it now!!! Get the finest drill bit you have and don't use a power tool. Just roll it between your thumb and middle finger whole applying light pressure with your index finger. There is a decent gap between the underside of the nail and the nail bed and other than the light pressure on an already sore spot, it won't hurt a big, guaranteed. Be careful though, blood may shoot when you break through.
ditto the paper clip
Dip the finger in hydrogen peroxide after you pierce the nail. It's an anti clotting agent and will keep the blood flowing out of the hole relieving the pressure.
Kurt work holding fixtures are second to none !
Did it a little more then a year ago with.....wait for it......my M1 Garand. Small drill with finger power. Oh what a feeling!

Seriously, the relief is almost euphoric.
why does my finger suddenly hurt ? even blood blisters should be relieved asap !! if compressed and bandaged one often doesnt loose the nail/skin ( i usually get them where bandages dont stick/compress - doh )

If you have to ask, it is not hurting enough.

It sounds (and it is) nauseating, but it REALLY works.
I crushed my finger a few weeks ago. I tried to go to bed, and it was torture. I got about an hour of sleep, and woke up SO fed up and flabbergasted that I started googling. Once I heard about drilling a hole in the nail, I went out in the garage around 4:00am, put a hole in it, and felt heaven.
The relief was almost immediate, and I was able to get back to sleep.
Once it stops bleeding in a week or so, you can close the hole back up with super glue.
Just done it at work last week so much better than PAIN.
POKE ONLY ONE HOLE. I REPEAT ONLY ONE, the second one is more painful than the throbbing blue nail. Ask me how I know
The first one felt so good I thought two had to be better. NOT SO

If you use a 20 ounce framing hammer, and hit it right, you won't need to pierce it.
Losing the nail hurts like h@@@. The more blood you get out from under the cuticle the less likely you will lose the nail.
I have used the drill bi on my left big toe nail a dozen times. I must put that foot forward when lifting heavy stuff and when coworkers dropped their end I usually caught it on that toe. Fingernails a few times too. Got wise in my old age, air nailers!
For all you guys that use a try bit, try the heated paper clip. Get it red hot and just touch it to the nail. It will melt right through and if you had a gentle touch will not contact the flesh below the nail. It is quick and sanitary.
