Why can I feel the nerves beneath my fingernails?

Tenderness can be caused by neuropothy (spelling) due primarily to diabetes, inflamation, response to cold, or a variety of reasons. If in pain, or the problem is intense, I would probably get to a clinic as fast as I could. \nBetter to find out than to guess. \nAlso, I keep my nails short. I find that the nerves under my finger nails get enraged when the nails click the keyboard all the time.\nI spend a lot of time on the computer between my school work and here on yahoo answers, as well as general chatting and running through various other tasks.

Most of us have a ticklish spot somewhere on our bodies, and it is usually pretty easy to find. For some it's just above the knee, for others it's the back of the neck, and some of us go into fits of laughter if someone grabs our sides. Laughing when another person tickles you is a natural reaction. Scientists have discovered that the feeling experienced when we are tickled causes us to panic and is a natural defense to little creepy crawlers like spiders and bugs. Slight tickles from insects can send a chill through your body letting you know something is crawling on you. \n\nThat same ticklish feeling sends us into a state of panic and elicits a response of uncontrollable laughter if a person tickles us. It's the moment that you least expect to be tickled and are that causes you to feel extremely uneasy and panicked, which leads to the most intense ticklish feeling. Even if you do know that you are about to be tickled, the fear and unease of someone touching and possibly hurting you causes you to laugh. Some people are so ticklish that they begin laughing even before they are touched.

Dry skin or some skin condition, allergic reaction to something, diabetes, poor circulation or circulation problem. If you are getting tingling sensations then you need to see a doctor.

You should make an appointment with your doctor to have it looked at.\n\nIt could be from something as harmless as a blunt trauma to the toe, which often takes a while to work itself out and effect the nails.\n\nBut it could also be a symptom of some more serious problem or fungus.

The tickling sensation comes from contact of another person's finger (for example) because the body reacts as a "i don't know what's happening here"... When you do it, your body does know where it will happen, what amount of pressure it will have and so.

I didn't find this vitamin online but your description is good, typing may lead to carpal tunnel which may lead to tingling sensation so first of all you want to see a doctor to ensure if carpal tunnel syndrome is your problem and go from there, good luck

Compression of the neurovascular structures (the nerves and blood vessels) that supply the arm would lead to the symptoms.  If it does not happen at any other time it was probably just your weird sleeping posture.  Do you notice if you do activities with your arms above your head for more than a couple of minutes you have feelings of tingling, numbness, heaviness and/or cold.  This could also be due to a compression of those same structures and could occur for several different reasons (posture, muscle tightness, elevated 1st rib, etc.).  I would ask for a referral to a Physical Therapist who would be able to examine you and tell you if your symptoms are being caused due to an orthopedic reason such as the ones that I lifted above.

Guessing here, but our toenails are thicker than our fingernails, so that could have something to do with it.

It's probably not your bones.  It's most likely your tendons or ligaments.  Bones have cartilage around them that protects them from contact with other bones.  Unless you've worn that cartilage down you're bones would never touch.  In the event they did you'd feel more of a grinding sensation.  You may just need to get out and active.  Stretch so your muscles don't get so tight and place so much stress on the surrounding tissues.

there are tonic and phasic pain receptors. \nOtherwise you would scream for hours after stumping your toes.

If you can see your finger nails (as in they are not covered up). If your nails have a yellow tent to them. If you skin is dry. If you get dizzy spells or feel light headed. The last two are in extreme cases.

this could be caused by wearing tight low cut jeans that can put pressure on a nerve on your hips. this called meralgia paresthetica. or it could be sciatica, a pain associated with your sciatic nerve that runs along the thigh.

It means that your ateries and your veins are squeezed, and so they are slowed down by the pressure you are holding up in your legs. so then you feel a tingly feeling because your blood is now flowing and is easier for the blood to flow.

No. Think of it like a fingernail. You only feel it if is cut where it is attached to your skin.

maybe you have ants in your bed...from eating white bread and bologna...or maybe it's spiders, from the bad trip you took....or maybe you just have poor circulation? Look, heres a website for ya...\n\n \nWHAT CAUSES those pins and needles? Dr. Robert Daroff, a professor of neurology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, explains that when sustained pressure is exerted on a portion of your leg, or any distal limb, one of two things usually happens. In some cases, arteries can become compressed, making them unable to supply local tissues and nerve cells with the nutrients (mainly oxygen and glucose) they need to function properly.\n\nOther times, nerve pathways can become blocked, preventing normal transmission of electrochemical impulses to the brain. Some of the nerves, starved or pinched or both, stop firing while others fire hyperactively. This leads to mixed signals being sent to the brain, where they are interpreted as burning, prickling or tingling feelings. It is these sensations, known medically as paresthesia, that alert you to move your foot.\n\nWhen you do so, the pressure on your arteries and nerves is released. As nutrient-rich blood flows back into the area and nerve cells start firing more regularly, the “pins and needles” feeling often intensifies until the neurons re-establish their normal transmission of electrochemical impulses.\n\nTrue, this is an uncomfortable process, but it’s actually beneficial.\n If we didn’t feel discomfort, we wouldn’t adjust our position — and harm could result. “Permanent damage can occur if blood flow is restricted and nerves are compressed for many hours,” according to Daroff.
