I smashed my right thumb with my car door at about 9:30 pm today, ran inside the house submerged my hand in a bunch of ice for a while and it did the trick for a bit however the pain was unberable right about 2:00 am, so bad that it woke me up, I was on my way to the ER but I decided to do a little YT search and lo and behold I came across this incredible advice, it worked!!!! Thank you Dr Silvers, you saved my night. Most likely I would have spent that whole night at Kaiser ER for someone to have done the same procedure. God bless you doctor!!!
@@jackh.silversm.d.8879for me It's not the nail It's the thumb that is reallly purple and red can this Procedure still work on my case?? I really need help
@ghoestfreak9409 likely still lose nail as it is caused by the blood creating a space between the nail and nail bed causing separation of the nail from it over time
I smashed my finger at the car door very hard yesterday around 10am and my finger went purple completely and the pain was unbearable. I put on ice , drank 3 analgetics during the day but nothing helped and my finger was about to burst from the blood that was collected. From the pain I couldnt sleep, so around 2am in the morning I saw this video and tried it with a hot needle and the blood started to get out . I just wanted to write this because I’m very thankful to youu Doctor , you saved my thumb and I’m glad that people like you exists to help all around the world. One more time THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY😇
It worked! I used a sewing needle though…It took me a couple tries due to the fact that it’s tricky holding the needle if you are doing it by yourself, and then getting the needle heated well enough was the 2nd challenge. The trick is getting the needle super hot though! I think a lot of people are experiencing pain because they are applying to much pressure! If the needle is red hot when you touch it to your nail, it should melt easily just like plastic, with not much pressure required at all. If you feel pain and got burned, it’s because you went too deep, probably because you were applying too much pressure with a needle that wasn’t hot enough. All you need is a very small whole, not deep at all, right through the nail for the blood to drain. Once it drains all that pressure and swelling will be relieved. I was scared at first, but it didn’t hurt me at all, if you do it correctly! MAKE THE NEEDLE EXTREMELY HOT!
Seems like the needle would have too sharp a point and not make a big enough hole to alleviate the pressure. Would be easier to push through the nail though
Got distracted while closing the car door this morning. The day was painful and I was wondering how I would sleep as I avoid pain killers as much as possible. Ice all day, keep the hand elevated but this pain was so intense. Came to TH-cam and found this. Thank you, pain is 80% better. I can actually use my hand.
I've done this before and blood shot across the room. (Used a sowing needle.) It hurt but it was sweet sweet relief. Before I drained it it hurt with every heart beat I had.
OOOOOOOOMG! This works!! I slammed my thumb in the car door ....just the corner of it but it HURT.....and the pain got worse within a short time. I found this wonderful doctor and gave it a try. Almost immediate relief. Thank you!!!!
Oh my thank you for sharing this information, we just had a finger smashed by a hammer and several hours later, the pain was growing deeper. We tried with a small paperclip 2 times but it did not penetrate enough and we were being careful. Then tried an embroidery needle and lo and behold the blood came rushing out. Dr Jack, my gratitude. Hope you get millions of views.
Is 4:17 a.m. right here now and I haven't been able to sleep after I slammed my thumb by 21 p.m. Thank God I found this method; I'm trying it out now and the blood is really really coming out. Thank you very much for this♥️♥️
Thank you I persevered and it was scary and it hurt a little but what a massive relief when it went through and all the blood and built up pressure released, it does work and you do feel 100 times better without the throbbing.
It works!!! Thank you doc! I watched a few more videos of other people trying this at home before attempting it myself. I slammed my thumb in the car door yesterday and the pain was excruciating. I followed this with a sewing needle and kitchen gas flame- actually my dad did it, I was trying but didn’t put enough pressure due to fear. It didn’t hurt but I felt it when the needle got through. Praise God, such a relief!
Thanks doctor i was in pain the whole day i saw your video and did it immediately am realeved now hopefully will hve a good night thanku so much .. watching from Zimbabwe
Smashed my finger three days ago on a car door. Tonight it's been it's biggest. I've kept it iced elevated and clean (I have a small cut) the pressure I was feeling in my thumb was too much, so glad I came across this video. It works! I heated a needle until it was super hot, i didn't apply any pressure because it just went right through my nail. Just a little pain, but it just felt like a little sting and blood came out! I got it on the third try btw, I wasn't heating my needle up enough the first two times.
I smashed my finger in my car door about 2wks ago mow, the pain has gone but the nail is dark. I came across video, do I made several attempts to create a opening in the mail to get out dry blood
This method is really effective. My finger smashed on a car door and it was hurting extremely. I decided to check some treatments, here I am , I found this and I am so happy now because no pain at all.
I literally just did this to my husband cause he came home with a smashed finger. THANK YOU THANK YOU. HE was in so much pain before now he is sleeping like a baby.
Hello I am having the same issue. Where can I find that object to make a hole? Could you please let me know what’s the object name and where can I buy it please.
OMG Jack!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I jammed my finger yesterday and put it in ice right away, it was okay but by the time I got home the pain was mind numbing. I found another video and put my finger in hot hot water with 1tbsp epson salt + 1 tbsp regular salt as much as I can then in freezing water as long as I could while going back and forth. Woke up and my nail was almost full of dry blood. I did your needle experiment and the blood came gushing out. I think its best to wait until the next day so that the blood can settle first, but the relief from the pain is super satisfying. I can breathe again and am very thankful!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
I slammed my finger on my car door today. I did not find out about this video until seven hours later and I tried this it’s not completely pain-free but it is about 70% relief.
alternate method if your scared of the hot needle hitting your tender nailbed... i just couldnt find a paperclip so thought of another method. --> 1. find the smallest drill bit possible. 2. get a pilot hole started with the drill but be careful only go deep enough so the bit wants to stay in that spot. 3. now use the drill bit by hand slowly twisting it back and fourth until you get through. worked for me and it could work for you too. thank me later.
Doc, seriously, my thumbs still hurts. But the pain before this paperclip surgery was on a 9 or 10. Pain now, about a 2 or 3. Back to work. Probably keep this in my combat tool kit, along with the superglue for stitches.
Thankyou, smashed my thumb with a log splitter, I got a needle bright red hot on the tip, tried pushing it in 2 times, but not hard enough, then a bit harder and blood came spurting out. Instant pain relief.
It's 18:36 right now and earlier today I had my thumb underneath a train on the railroad track. Like every car weighing 100 tonnes passed over it, and immediately after that Godzilla body slammed my thumb into a diamond field. After that Lizzo gently sat on it and the pain was so intense I went into convulsions and the doctors said there was smoke coming out of my ears! Every heartbeat felt like John Henry the negro railroad man was swinging his 100 pound hammer directly on the nail in tune with my pumper. After doing this trick the kind doctor from california suggested I had nearly 5,000 cc blood squirt with such tremendous force some people from the next county over saw it. The relief had me weeping for days and days. Sir, I will name my firstborn in your honor.
Paper clip was too dull, it only burned a bigger hole on my nail. Or maybe my nails are too thick. I’d recommend using a wider sewing needle instead. It hurts less and goes in deeper more quickly. Sweet relief! Thank you for this. 🙏🏼
Just did this after smashing my thumb at work. Sooo painful. After a couple tries it worked. More blood than i expected but the pain is a lot more bareable. Gonna do it again in a few hours
Hold it in a cup of white vinegar with ice cubes in it.....why? My gramma said so!!! It relieves some ache n my nail came off quicker already healing underneath...Avoid OTC meds...they SLOW healing and .nothing stops this pain. Good luck and take pics...you WILL get better and be amazed you survived the pain!
My 8 yr old smashed his nail today. I tried this method on him not sure if I did it right cause he was scared of it but his pain was MUCH better after the process. Not sure if I had to melt his nail? Also didn't see any blood coming out but he felt better. Thanks alot
@Dr. Jack H. Silvers, M.D. how soon can you relieve blood on top of nail after injured? My thumb smashed in door as it was closing. Got past medium purple on bottom of skin and purple near cuticle Not whole thumb was injured..it's not black. Just dark purple on bottom of thumbnail n on other side purple just looks bruised not majorly. But there is tightness n swelling. Does it have to be black to pop?
pl do tell me what u did.. m in so much pain. just got hit few mins back..i took a painkiller that hwlped me a little but what to do with the blood clot ? its slight purple
When is it too late to poke the whole? I smashed my finger 4days ago and was told the bone was cracked and given a cheap splint. it's still swoll and hurt with what look like is blood under 80% of my nail. can I still drain it at home???
The key is to pierce the finger at the corner not the center...I have multiple black marks from piercing at the center....I just did this at the side....needle extremely hot and what a relief.....am not a believer unless it happens to me so believe me when I tell u this doc just guaranteed me some wel deserved sleep Plus if you are piercing one place and it ain't going tru immediately your obviously doing it wrong n it's extremely painful. When I found the spot the needle went right tru and the blood started coming out immediately
hi,,, I have a black nail on the base from one week ago... but doesn't bother me... no pain at all..... its just ugly... is any other danger besides that???
Sir my finger nails on the tip 10 percentage vilot colour bearable pain now should i do anything will it go its on or this small pain goes for many weeks
I smashed my toenail four days ago. It hurt bad and had swelling at the base of the nail. I trimmed my nail a bit just as we do regularly and the blood leaked through out of the side... Right now it feels much better. But if the air got underneath the nail, is there a risk of infection. Should I take some antibiotic beforehand? Although everything seems fine right now.
Iam suffering with thumb finger nail since last days and my doctor said DON'T POP IT . But the pain was very awful 😞. The finger size was increasing day by day. Please give me some solution for the pain
I jammed my thumb nail yesterday 😭💔 so thanks for this it’s soooo sore and I got school on Monday and my nail looks so ugly so thanks. Will the swelling go down with it?
My wife has the largest bulge I ever saw beneath her nail after our safe door slammed down on her finger. It was one week ago though. Pain is gone, but bulge is still there. Can we drain it still over a week after, or would the blood be all dry???
Good question Thomas. The nail plate through which the hole is made by the tip of the paper-clip is dead compact cells that grows out. There would not be any permanent nail changes from a health care professional poking the nail plate. A growing nail plate would not have any deformities, unless the trauma that induced the bruise under the nail damaged the live part of the nail that is under the proximal skin fold.
@@jackh.silversm.d.8879 how soon can u pop on top of nail after injured? My thumb smashed in door as it was closing. Got lite purple on bottom of 6 and purple near cuticle Not whole thumb was injured..

My father had a heart surgery & he's used to having ecosprin....would this method work for him as well??won't there be too much of blood loss??please reply🙏
I know it's late but adding this for future reference don't do this if on blood thinners medication like ecosprin sometimes the bleeding won't stop and it would be a serious problem.
How much pressure do you really need to apply?...I pressed hard enough where I have a little brown spot on my nail like it obviously didn't go thru. I guess I chickened out!...lol
Using a drill with a small bit is far less painful! I tried this about 10 times and it hurt like hell and still couldn't get it to burn completely through. I finally tried the drill as a last ditch effort and in about 5 mins I had slowly drilled a small hole and the pressure was gone! And it didn't hurt at all.
Hello I am having the same issue. Where can I find that object to make a hole? Could you please let me know what’s the object name and where can I buy it please.
Hi I slammed my finger on my car door three days ago and I feel the pressure but not a lot of black blood but it also feels numb. Should I poke the hole or wait?
I am sorry getting back you a day later. If you live in the U.S. we can set a telemedicine consultation. You can email me at brentwooddermatology@gmail.com
As long as the tip of the hot metal remains in your nail, there would be no pain. Because blood is collected under the nail, there is a little space between the nail, and the skin underneath the nail. Press hard quickly and confidently on the nail with the hot tip. It might be best if let a doctor do it for you.

you can use a tiny drill bit by hand to slowly put a hole through the nail. no heat or pressure involved.

My father had a heart surgery & he's used to having ecosprin....would this method work for him as well??won't there be too much of blood loss??please reply🙏
I know it's late but adding this for future reference don't do this if on blood thinners medication like ecosprin sometimes the bleeding won't stop and it would be a serious problem.
@@veeramachaneninarasimha9802 ohh...no problem....btw, thanks for your suggestion :)
How much pressure do you really need to apply?...I pressed hard enough where I have a little brown spot on my nail like it obviously didn't go thru. I guess I chickened out!...lol
The little pain is nothing compare to thumb throbbing all night. Felt instant relief after.
I basically have a foldable fhair and i put my finger somewhere and when i sat down it legit crushed/something my finger
Using a drill with a small bit is far less painful! I tried this about 10 times and it hurt like hell and still couldn't get it to burn completely through. I finally tried the drill as a last ditch effort and in about 5 mins I had slowly drilled a small hole and the pressure was gone! And it didn't hurt at all.
Why i found out it was hot on my nail before get thru
Somehow i feel like i owe u my life for this the pain is over
Awesome. Please, leave a review on Google for Brentwood Dermatology Medical Group in LA.
Thanks Doc!!

Hi I slammed my finger on my car door three days ago and I feel the pressure but not a lot of black blood but it also feels numb. Should I poke the hole or wait?
I wish that you had seen. doctor over the past three days. Do you live in the U.S.?
I smashed my finger and the tip is bleeding and I think I can see some flesh coming out. What should I do.
Did you go to the ER?
@@iishyxvietxboyii1 nahh too expensive. And it's fully healed now. Took about 2 weeks to heal
I hammered my nail but the bruised showed up not on the nail but my thumb, what can I do with this? It's very painful 😥
I am sorry getting back you a day later. If you live in the U.S. we can set a telemedicine consultation. You can email me at brentwooddermatology@gmail.com
Hi doc thanks for reply unfortunately i live in New Zealand. I hope u r well by the way.
I just tried it with a really hot 🔥 needle it worked blood drained but the pain dropped from 9/10 to 7/10 still can't sleep
Thanks this really work now i can get some sleep
Sir making a hole in the nail is a painful procedure??
As long as the tip of the hot metal remains in your nail, there would be no pain. Because blood is collected under the nail, there is a little space between the nail, and the skin underneath the nail. Press hard quickly and confidently on the nail with the hot tip. It might be best if let a doctor do it for you.
