wich hurts worse losing a whole nail or getting hit by a baseball?

Losing a whole nail by FAR is more painful. Getting hit by a baseball sort of stuns you for a second but for sheer pain nothing tops ripping off a piece of your body by accident.

unfortunately he's talking about soccer... \n\njust kick the ball on its side with your big toe, and continue  with your side of your foot. kinda hard to describe online.   \n\n\np.s. baseball is better

This is an old trick my high school sports trainer taught me... get a tuning fork and give it a whack and while it is vibrating touch it to the end of your thumb... if it hurts really really bad then it is broken...if it only stings a bit then it is not broken.

Well, sounds like you finger is hurt, Eh. Up in the Great White North me and the boys tape em' up and play some puck. But Just rest it and get a splint to keep it from moving and gets hit or knocked again est something. So yea, Eh, it will get better in a week or two but if its broken you probably be in more pain. If you are see the doc about it.

Feet are bumped, banged, stepped on, and smushed more often as they are on the ground and used for transportation.  Nails (on fingers and toes) are protective devices (the way a helmet is used to protect your head).  Makes sense for toenails to be thicker and stronger, because feet take more abuse in general.

gunshot. its easier to control the bleeding and doesnt do as much damage as the piercing and slicing of a knife..if someone twists the knife...the wound will never heal right

Chances are you didn't tear a ligament.  If you tore a ligament there would be little pain your foot would be very loose.  It sounds as if you have sprained it or that it may be bruised.  If you were hit on the top part of your foot it may be bruised.  If you were playing baseball or basketball and fell on it wrong you may have a sprain.  If you can't remember and it is continually getting worse you may have been bitten by a spider or some other creature.  If ice doesn't make the swellen go down, definitely go to the doctor after a day.\n\nGood Luck\n\nCoach

Could be bruised or even fractured, if its causing you alot of pain, go see a doctor.

Yes, you need to see a doctor. The nail is dead and you may infect your toe if you are not careful. Do not dig at it you might cause further damage

You probably broke your little toe. At the very least you probably cracked the little bone.  It will get better but takes a month or so.

I've done this before as a Corpsman in the Navy.  The area around the nail is numbed, then using a pair of clippers or anything it takes the sides of the nail need to be cut and pried out of the skin that's holding it in.  So you're left with a nail up the middle but nothing on the side(s).  The operations doesn't hurt but it will be very sore for a while afterward.

it will hurt but only for a few seconds.  its really nothing to worry about.  i have been hit =near my balls meore than once but its nothing to worry about.heres what you need to do.  sit back for the first part of the game and see where the opposing team goes to. then ask for cover fire and try to get to another bunker.  i did this and i got real good real quick.  that's what you need to do for the first few games or so.  then as you get more experienced then you can become more aggressive since you will know the field a little better

If you did this yesterday the bleeding under the nail has stopped by now. (unless you are on blood thinners for some reason in which case you need to go to the ER). The nail will continue to get darker and so may the toe. It will be no different than anyother bruise and it will change colors as it resolves. Yes your nail will probably fall off.\nPutting a hole in the nail at this time probably won't do anything. You need to do that while it is still actively bleeding or just after. It is to release the blood collection thereby  releasing the pressure. But since it happened yesterday the blood is already coagulated so it will not come out it just has to be reabsorbed.\nPersonally I would soak the foot a couple times a day for 20 minutes or so in warm water or use a heating pad a couple times a day. The heat will increase the circulation  in the area and help to breakdown the collection of blood. Don't soak your feet longer than this though because you can do damage to the skin and cause other problems for yourself.\nWhen the nail falls off, you  won't need to do anything. The nail bed underneath will already be hardened because of the separation of the nail bed and nail so it shouldn't be painful either. Do keep the nail trimmed as it starts to loosen so it doesn't catch on shoes or socks or even towels. If you catch the end of the nail and pull it off before it is ready it will hurt when it happens and will continue to hurt for a while after.\nHope this helps\nK

it doesnt hurt cause your numb, but the sore left afterwards is more of a pain in the butt. No matter what-it will feel better than the wart- those things hurt
