Ice. See a doctor to make sure you haven't caused some damage that won't heal on its own.
One concern is that it could bleed so much that it will build pressure and hurt more--you might need to have *a doctor* drill a small hole to relieve the pressure. Note that I said "*a doctor*, not you.
You fingernail will take months to grow out. The damaged part might fall off, but the fingernail will grow back.
Good luck.

Take an Aspirin for pain. Go to the hospital if it doesn't go away.

Soak in warm salt water. This will be sore for weeks but not usually something you have to run to the doctor for. Unless you can see that you need stitches as well?

Visit a hospital, seriously.
I smashed my finger once. Actually, my friend smashed it. But it hurt like crazy.
It took a LONG time to make the pain go away!

it will hurt like hell for about ten mins, and then it will get better. put it in icy water and hold it upright. if it stays bad for more than a few days put it in a bandage and ask your doctor

I slammed my nail, and it took quite awhile for it to feel better. I was then told to tap on it, sort of like flick it, 3 times, and it helps relieve some of the pressure...but nothing will take the pain totally away until it heals! Good luck, hope you feel better!

Put ice on it, 20 mins at a time & keep it elevated. Take some otc pain meds for 2-3 days if you need to & if it doesn't feel better then, consult with your dr.

stick it in ice water. It'll hurt for a few days at least, probably longer. You're just gonna have to stick it out. Take some Ibuprofen. Sounds like your fingernail might fall off too, hopefully not though. There's really no reason to go to the hospital.

You should get to a nearby hospital and get some treatment. It will keep feeling bad as long as you don't get any.

homeopathic remedy Arnica and Ledum would be my choices 30C or 200C potency.
"Homeopathic Remedies" by Asa Hershoff has index and illustrated chart for trauma and pages where more information is available (page 81)
Chart for various other things. IF you can only get one I would recommend this one.
"Everybody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicines" by Stephen Cummings, MC and Dana Ullman, MPH . His forward is very good and give a good overview of using remedies. Has index and lists of differentials.

if youre fingernail is just blue and not totally busted that means theres blood underneath it and you need to get that out to relieve the pressure. i did that many times when playing football and dad told me what to do... you have to get a needle or a drill bit or something sharp to make a hole in the nail and get the blood out... this is gross but it helps i promise you. and it will look normal when youre fingernail grows out of it. i hope i helped! good luck man.

My best friend smashed his fingernail with a hammer once.
Best thing to do right now is place it in ice for the time being. It helps with the swelling. Maybe take some Ibuprofen for the pain. If the nail turns slightly redish-purpleish its bleeding inside. Dont freak. It will turn black and through the growing of the nail it will fade. Now the pain wont leave for a while. I honestly can say maybe a day or two. I hope you feel better.

finger nail is blue because you broke a blood vessel in your finger. put ice on it, it will constrict the blood vessel and help stop the bleeding, and decrease the swelling. It will hurt for about a day, then begin to get better

well if you hurt it good enough which sounds like you did you nail could fall off. Its going to hurt for awhile, maybe take some tylonol. If your finger bruised get it checked out; you couldve broken your finger. If not; you just kinda have to wait it out.

I've seen this kind of thing before! The answer you seek will not be a popular one, so here goes...go see a doctor.
I wonder if people who get shot run on Yahoo! Answers and ask for advice on what to do.
