so I smashed my finger pretty bad the other day

[Bigblue1]

Just wondering if anybody has ever drilled a hole in their finger nail to release the pressure, I just did forgood or bad, as a matter of fact had to do 2. The way I see it, it at least relieved some pressure and may quite possibly save my nail..... anyway anybody ever done it and to what success or failure?

Holy crap BB..............that sounds awful



However, I do remember the Incas doing something like that

They use a hot needle if you go to the hospital. I would not recommend using a drill.

I have done it a few times it does help a good bit just stop every few seconds and take a look at it.

I didn't use a drill just the bit and manually twisted it till it hit the blister under the nail. As far as I know they do use small drill bits in a hospital as well, from what I've read. But no it was not under mechanical power....... Also I heated it up and used peroxide before and after said "drilling"

Lol, I'm glad to hear that. I was about to rush in here to state the obvious danger of using powertools to drill into your fingers lol.

You'll be fine. Sucks though, I hate when I do that.

It's not enough that i drilled holes in my fingernails,, some guys you can't satisfy. But believe me there was blood. I did this last wednesday morning, and the pain has been terrible, since an hour ago when I bled it out, still pain but nowhere near the same pain.... i would recomend this to anybody. Biggest bonus,, obamacare and insurance companies loose.............
