I jammed my middle finger playing football. Did the same thing. The wild part was the nail started growing again and as it grew it pushed the old one out. For awhile it looked like my fingernail was cracked in half.
Eventually it just grew enough that it fell off. I did have a wierd hump in the fingernail area for years!

Hmm... hopefully they'll tell me that when I call in a few min. The nail is growing again, that's why it's doing it - otherwise I wouldn't have noticed. I've seperated them at the front before (fingernails) or split them... Worst was getting a blood blister when I was younger under one nail. I remember having to drill a hole through the nail, then take a needle and lance it to drain the blood out. If I remember right, it took a couple of months for the hole to make it to where I could cut it out of the end of the nail. The clotted blood stuck to the underside of the nail took longer...
Any reccomendations on tape? Because the electrical tape is just too [edit]not too loose, just too loose to do anything without cutting off the circulation...[/edit]. And I do have a Walgreens across the street...
