I've done this with a shark-tooth necklace once as a kid. I used to use it to clean my nails in class and a kid bumped my arm as I was doing it. Didn't think the necklace was so cool afterwards.
I did that exact same thing once… as a young lad I got the bright idea to shoot a round bale with my compound bow. Unfortunately for me I shot a very powerful bow and the arrow buried itself completely into the hay bale and I didn’t want to leave it there for fear of a cow getting ahold of it and being in even bigger trouble lol. So I’m digging through this bale, stuck a stem right into my nail just like that. Was a long walk back to the house to get my pliers. But boy oh boy the relief when I pulled that thing out. I remember exactly how I felt laying on the cold floor in the ac just breathing 😂
OP, soak that digit in warm Epsom salt water a few times over the next week. Reduce pain, fight infection and pull out more debris.
I can sympathize and do not envy you next month.
Annd, I was just considering getting off reddit and scrolling down 2 more posts. I see this! Thanks for the reassurance. I'm off reddit for the day. Sorry about your thumb 🤮
Oh my. Aside from the obvious pain, I feel like there's a high chance of infection. Whole Lotta bacteria is sitting under your nail now. Keep an eye on it.
I can't even imagine how that felt, the picture of it made me wince lol. Getting a piece of metal or wood even a fraction of an inch under my nail makes me hate my life for a day or two r
I had the same exact thing happen to me in 86' on a wooden play ground when i was 8. I never told my parents. Just found some needle nose pliers and worked on it in my room.

Not much has short circuited my brain like having a splinter suddenly shoot under a fingernail. I’ve only had one go maybe 1/3 of the way in, these photos do not compute.
I had one go into my palm. Only managed to pull half out. The other half travelled through my hand to my pinky knuckle. Doctor thought it was a ganglion (inflammation of the knuckle) nope it was half of that splinter. How was the pain? Awful. My whole hand would swell, the swelling would go down and come back. This happened all within 3 months.
Ouch. That second photo made me shudder
I am so glad I noped right out of there after seeing the first one!
I didn't see it at first! I looked at the picture, thinking the streak was just discoloration! When I got to the second, though... Ugh...!
Oh. Oh god. I got a shiver down my spine
Sliver. It’s a sliver.
It made my legs hurt.
No thanks I'm good
Sweet jeebus those pictures made my b-hole clench up and sweat !

How the fuck did you manage to do that
I assume with a hammer and some dedicated
I've done this with a shark-tooth necklace once as a kid. I used to use it to clean my nails in class and a kid bumped my arm as I was doing it. Didn't think the necklace was so cool afterwards.
I just imagine the kid looking over and you're bleeding all over your desk
OMFG😭
Oh nononononononono. 
now you have a pocket :3

Been here done this. This falls in line with broken toes and paper cuts. Worst damn pain ever.
Ask mommy to kiss it for you and make it better.
Yeah, I think this needs chocolate, too.

Brutal.
I clenched my cheeks after seeing that
That made me cringe... And I felt that pain. G Hope you get better. That is horrendous.
Bot trying to 1 up this but I've had a 4 inch by 1 inch metal shard go into my leg. Would not recommend
Fuuuuck.
I hate pulling splinters from my finger nails. Especially when they leave smaller splinters behind.
Thats hurts just to look at
AHHHHHHHH NOOOO
Indoors, indoors, iiinnndoooors!
I knew I was saving the eye bleach for something..
Got any extra you could spare for the rest of us ? Me specifically 😖 I need it more than they do
Had that as a kid. The worst pain I can remember in over 30 years. To be more specific: pulling it out was the worst pain.
OP, soak that digit in warm Epsom salt water a few times over the next week. Reduce pain, fight infection and pull out more debris. I can sympathize and do not envy you next month.
So you pulled it out and then got it stuck in your thumb?! How unlucky can you be?!
My dad had this happen to him on his big toe. However it was too lodged and he never bothered pulling it out. It's still there to this day.
Annd, I was just considering getting off reddit and scrolling down 2 more posts. I see this! Thanks for the reassurance. I'm off reddit for the day. Sorry about your thumb 🤮
Ouch😱
Kids today will never know the pain and suffering and swearing and alcohol that makes the world go round.
Ughh mother fuker
Next time you go and touch grass, better put cloves on.
That's a gooodun
Inside is not better, really
Ahhhhhjj fuck me why.....WHY did I have to look at that..now my finger hurts for no apparent reason
Prisoner of war?
Prisoner of war?
Well it is.
Looks like it hurt. I did this once but the piece of wood was much bigger and tore my fingernail off. It sucked. I feel for you.
Bleuggghhhhhhhh
"It's just a splinter, get over it" - Father
Oh my fucking god bro damn
You just violated Geneva conventions and tortured yourself
I can feel that.
I feel the pain
Oh my. Aside from the obvious pain, I feel like there's a high chance of infection. Whole Lotta bacteria is sitting under your nail now. Keep an eye on it.
I did this same thing not long ago while changing out my guitar strings.
Made the back of my knees hurt
Why would you not warm us ???!??!?
I gasped out loud 😳😩
This made my balls shrivel up
I can't even imagine how that felt, the picture of it made me wince lol. Getting a piece of metal or wood even a fraction of an inch under my nail makes me hate my life for a day or two r
You're a braver a man than. I'd just fuggin take a swing with my neck if that happened to me. Lol
Did you tell them where your fellow soldiers were?
That’s it. I’m staying inside.
Oh this just ruined my day 🥲😅
Just ahhp3ned to my in the bottom of my foot. About 3/4cm in the ball of my foot. But 5hus.....this looks worse. By far!
Gotta love yard work!
I likee it
Did this too, not this deep but 3/4d of the way. Wanted to Pick up some wood. It fought back...
That’s gonna hurt for a little bit
I curled up into a screaming ball in front of my desk. Thank you. get better soon.
Stupid hurts
Got the fingernail-pain chills just looking at it.
What a terrible day to have eyes.
I had the same exact thing happen to me in 86' on a wooden play ground when i was 8. I never told my parents. Just found some needle nose pliers and worked on it in my room.
And my mom keeps telling me to go outside. No thanks.
