Answers:
ice, elevate your hand and watch it.if it just happenned you have to expect swelling.if the injury happened a few days ago u should get it looked at in case it has a clot and the ice should b on for first 24 hrs, like a half hour at a time every 2 hrs, then warm soaks next couple days the point is to increase the circulation to reabsorb the blood.u broke blood vessels in there

Other Answers:
Rip it off

theres really nothing you can do but wrap it up and try to avoid using it the next few days sorry i couldnt help how are you typing?!


well it doesnt make sense to not go to the doctor so I guess you just have to wait and see what happens.take a painkiller and watch and wait if you dont want to seek medical attention! good luck


You may have pinched a nerve.try massaging the area and loosening up the pinched area. If this does not work, you must go to the E.R. Use lotion if you must to help with the friction of the rubbing

first take some analgesics to get rid of pain.
next take some antibiotics
if you get pus in your thumb go to a doctor and get it drained.


sterilize a needle and put the needle in the opposite hand as the hurt one, hold the needle with your thumb and index finger, and roll it. You are going to drill a hole in your fingernail. And yes, the blood will spurt out, but it will feel much better take a drill bit and drill a small hole in your thumbnail this will relieve the pressure and allow the blood to leave from under the nail.
