why

are there so many E's, D's and C's in so many words? im in so much freakin pain its not even funny :( why oh why am i so clumsy? going to the doctor tomorrow where i am sure he will want to drain the blood. im sure its going to hurt like hell too, man, im not happy!, and im not like "most children", lol.

Sometimes blood collects under the nail -- what we call a subungual hematoma. When handled properly, this does not increase or decrease the odds of the nail healing well. If enough blood is trapped to cause painful throbbing, the nail should be evaluated.

Often the physician will pierce the nail to relieve the pressure. The physician might use a red-hot paper clip, an 18-gauge needle, or an electrocautery machine. While the procedure sounds gruesome (and looks dramatic when the blood starts to spurt from the hole), most children feel great relief and no discomfort. The hot tool glides through the nail like butter.

update: well i went to the doc yesterday. he didn't relieve any pressure and now its swollen even more and hurting just as bad. what he did do was give me antibotics which has a side effect of DEATH. yes thats right death. wonderful, well atleast my life insurance is paid up.
