Not broken (otherwise excruciating pain), but sprained.\n\nSwelling should slowly subside - finger will probably turn several shades of purple.\n\nIf it starts getting painful - go see an MD.

White marks on the fingernails are called Leukonychia. The majority of them are caused by minor injuries to the forming nail under the skin. Even a relatively minor bump can leave a mark that stays with the nail until it grows out.\n\nIf you have a large number of white marks persistently for months, you MAY have a zinc deficiency. See your doctor for a checkup and be sure to ask.

May have an ingrown toenail.  You should get to the doctor and have that looked at.  They are very painful and will bleed badly just from bumping them.  If this is what it is, you will have to have your toenail cut out, not to gross you out or scare you, but my ex-boyfriend had a very bad one.  Good luck

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 is really no way to know for sure unless you show it to a doctor.  Keep cleaning it, but do so gently.  Don't pick it or move around the nail or dig into it.  Be careful and go to a doctor.

Some people bite their nails simply as a bad habit and they have to consciously make the effort to stop.\n\nOther people, the ones who get down to bare bleeding skin, may be suffering from depression or something similar.  I used to be this person, I was biting my nails down to the nubbins to (unconciously) cause myself physical pain in order to cover up emotional pain.  After spending some time in therapy I was able to find better ways of dealing with things and now I have lovely nails!\n\nBy the way, this second example of nail chewing is a very similar behavior to people who cut or otherwise hurt themselves... the physical pain is easier to deal with than emotional pain.

Get them professionally done. they have acrylics and silk wraps. They are very hard, but can still break. No way to make your natual nails that hard sorry.

OK...you have a fresh injury an you're going to feel the consequences of that with sore muscles and pulled ligaments.  the Rotator cuff is what keeps your arm in it's socket and helps it move around, similar to your knee joint.  If you have an injury, on the inside of the joint, you may need surgery.  Checking the circulation by pressing the fingernails indicates if the blood in your injured arm is circulating.  If your fingernails are a blue or black color, then the oxygen in the blood is not circulating properly and you should report this condition asap to your doctor.  Wear the collar and cuff for a few days and mend before you start to worry about the surgery and getting back to normal activities.  Your body uses rest to heal.  So...rest.  Then call your doctor with any other questions.  \n\nGlad you weren't seriously injured.

Ew, I think his nails scratched you up inside. Tell him to trim them down really well and be gentle next time.

Your finger does sound infected. If it has been like that for more than just a few days and it is getting sore, if would propably be a good idea to have it checked out by a doctor in case you need antibiotics. But if it isn't anything major, a pharmacist should be able to recommend you something. In the mean time, make sure you keep it clean. Good luck with your finger.

Nothing to worry about-its happened to me a few time.You probably did bruise/scratch yourself at work.Put some neosporin on it and unless it gets infected just forget about it.

Don't believe all the rumors and "old wives tales" about white spots under your fingernails.  So far nobody has agreed on a diagnosis for the white spots.  Some say its too much calcium or not enough.  Some say they are like bruises from hitting your fingers.  Nobody knows for sure what causes them and there are no "cures" for them.  They are not abnormal, as many people experience the same thing.

there are no nerves in the actual hair or nails it is all dead. It hurts when you pull hair/ break the nail, because the nerves are at the root / nail bed.

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.

this is called a "subungal hematoma" simply meaning a blood colleciton under the nail.\n\nwhen they first occur there is some infection risk but very low. the risk comes from the ruptured nail bed itself but the nail is a barrier to germs.\n\nIt takes the average adult large toenail 13 monhts to gro out from base to tip.\n\ngive it time.\n\nI wouldnt waste your time or money going to the doctor. when they first happen and hurt we can drain them, but if there is no pain there is no indication for that and it should be left alone.\n\nIf you've looked this up on the internet and read about melanoma under the nail , splinter hemorrhages, nail psoriasis and other things that can mimic this...relax. you're fine. You do not have anything threatening.\n\nTake care and choose your dance partner more wisely next time!

You could possibly have a nail fungus.  Get to a doctor and have it treated as soon as possible.  It is highly contagious and can cause deformities of the nail if left untreated.  I worked with someone who had this.
