    Did this in November. Then I got irritated by all the pain and removed the mangled nail, discovered pus and some liquid. Very painful. But it felt so good that night. Slowly watching the nail regrow.

      Oof. My late father had accidentally smashed the hell out of his thumb at work so bad that he had to drill a hole in the middle of the nail to relieve the blood pressure. And yes, it took like 6 months to mostly grow out, and another few years before it grew back enough you couldn’t really see it ever happened. Big ouchie there!

      Thankfully my incident only seems mildly bruised, and the pain has already mostly subsided.

      Oh, sometimes that sucks so bad. I wacked my thumb 10+ years ago, the nail still hasn’t grown back fully right. Almost… I figure another 2-5 years, lol.

        My toe nail was like that. Introduced me to steel toe boots. Going to years now and its beginning to grow right. I feel you.
