Fractured my ankle last week Wakeboarding, can't seem to stay off of it. Making it worse.... looking at that splinter I think I would rather stick with my ankle.

You better just pull that fingernail off before it gets infected. :)

I had one of those under my thumb nail years ago except mine went right up past the quick on my thumb. I went to a walk in clinic, the lady doctor froze my thumb, cut away a bit of the nail and dug it out. Piece of cake. That wasn't near as tricky as the sliver I got in my eye ball when edging stairs. My family doctor picked that out with a syringe.
