Relief for a black toenail?

[Rabid_Goose]

Wow, I didn't know you could do anything for nails when you crush the part they cover.

At my job we have to use our fingers all day, assembly line, and if we cut our fingers too short, talk about pain. The nail that is cut too far back cuts into the meat, owwy. Anywho, anyone know something to strengthen the nail? I cut them about every 2 weeks but by the 2nd week they grow out and crack/break, get caught in the gloves, or worse, and tear down the middle.

Might sound gay but I bet clear nail polish would work pretty good.

You are SOOOO glad its not your big toe....

no joke! tho i'm suprised at how much this little toe has fucked up my balance.

sure enuff, the thing is broken. i got 'er taped to the toe next door. looks even worse today, but the pain isn't nearly as bad as yesterday.

i'm wondering if the hole I made with the needle will cause an infection?

Slammed my toe and the fucker turned black within 5 minutes and been throbbing the past two hours. Supposed to go out tonite but can't get dress shoes on. Chick I'm going with says I can't wear sneaks.

Bro says i need to take the pressure off the nail, and gave two options...Take a needle and heat it red-hot and pierce the nail, or take an x-acto knife and "drill" the nail by spinning the blade on the nail.

Any of y'all had this? What'd you do to get the blood out from under the nail?

As stated, heat a needle or paper clip and it will melt through the toe nail and relieve the pressure. It may hurt due to the heat, but once through it is relief.

Instead of an exacto knife, get a 1/8 or smaller drill bit and slowly spin it between your fingers. It will bore into the nail slowly and open the area to drain and relieve the pressure also. Less painful, unless you go too deep.

How you do it? I do it annually in my ski boots. By the time the nail falls off and grows back, it is ski season again and I start all over.
