I think I remember my dad relieving the pressure under his fingernail by burning a hole through it with a hot paperclip. Not sure if it worked. I've torn 2 fingernails completely off and have on that wont stop splitting catch part of that once in a while, Just the other day I chucked up a vice-grip in a vise and clamped the small part of that split nail in the vise grip and yanked it out by the root. Done that a half a dozen times I suppose.

when we came back from vacation, the wife slammed the van door on her thumb
of course we were on our way to the airport so we had no access to flames or paperclips

we iced her thumb but it turned blue pretty quick by the time we made it back to MI we went straight from the airport to her office where she had something, i dont know what its called, but it looks like a soldering iron on steroids

the tip heats up to cherry red in seconds

i then got to pop a hole in her nail and let me tell ya, that was like striking oil, it shot out and you could almost see her thumb deflate back to regular size


i was pretty lucky my nail was no where near as bad
