 Subject: Extreme Pain under ThumbnailMessage: I have been getting acrylics for months now. I recently hit the thumbnailpretty hard while cooking, but that was weeks ago. Suddenly this week I have been experiencing pain, in the bed of my thumbnail, I wake up in the middle of the night with a deep throbing pain. No discoloration or deformity as of yet. I am having the fake nails removed and I will not be putting them back on. EVER!!!!!!!! What could possibly be casuing the pain. thanks in advance. |

It's so hard to say for sure what might have happened, but did you notice if the acrylic separated from the nail anywhere, or possibly the nail itself pulled away from the bed when you injured it? If so it's possible you've gotten an infection. Keep an eye on it for swelling, redness or pus and be sure to see a doctor if removing the acrylics doesn't help. I took mine off because the fills were becoming so painful. Removing them is never fun, especially if you're already experiencing pain but it's the right thing to do. I wish I knew more about your specific situation. It might even be a good idea to see a dr. before removing them. Good luck, Kim, and please let us know how it goes. |

There was a tad bit of swelling in the nail bed and around the cutilces. But nothing to make me think I have an infection yet. No discoloration or anything. Now I am nursing my nails back to health. So maybe I was blessed this time, I guess this is my warning about acrylics. I will simply go and get a manicure and that's it. I wonder if I can do the manicure myself? Well, anyway thank you guys, findng this site has really been helpful and your posts were insightful as well. Thanks again. |

| Lynnie IP: 74.67.166.37 6/17/2006 08:16:37 | RE: Extreme Pain under Thumbnail Message: Kim - I had a thumbnail that simply couldn't tolerate acrylics. Even when I was still having them done, I had to leave that one "free". I would get a throbbing pain and swelling after a fill along the inside end of the actual tissue, but there was no infection present, just some lifting of that nail. Maybe the trama of hitting your nail has made it proned to an intolerance to the product. Now that you removed it and it feels better seems to be a good indicator that you were adding insult to injury as they say! As Cheryl said, this might be a good time to try the NGF. Nails grow faster in Summer and you might see quick results. |

However, since I had the nails soaked off, the pain is returning every now and again. This deep throbing pain, then it goes away again, but never completely. I am taking ibuprofen for the swelling and pain. I think I am going to make an appointment this week with my Dr. Just to have it checked out, to make sure no infection is present. |
