instant pain relief
yes I can vouch for that method...had a very bad swolen jaw due to an abcess...dentist said you will have to wait it out with painkillers and anti-biotics...no way got an old retired arm doctor to make a hole in the jaw with syringe...result 1 minute of the most foul tasting liquid ever imaginable..but instant pain relief...had to swallow salty water for a couple of days...but no further problems...old ways are the best..Happy Canada Day to you all cheers malcolm

Alex and Malcom, I know about that fix, but I didn't know it was that bad until it was too late to drill the hole. I bandaged it straight away to keep working and left the bandaid on for an extra day. I have used the red hot tip of a paper clip as well. The blood cools the heat as soon as you get through the nail. Your right the relief is instantaneous.
Back on the job it only hurts when I bump it now. Regards Rick.

It certainly was a significant ouch!
Doesn't every motor vehicle restoration project and even home renovation chore require some form of blood letting to appease the Gods?   Well that is how it seems to work out for me!   Kind Regards Lionel

We had an apprentice who heard us dicussing the puncture method for relieving pain and saving the nail. When he got around to mashing a finger he went straight for the Pedestal Drill and promptly drilled a 1.5mm hole right through nail AND finger. Made a bit more of a mess I can tell you. Of coursethis incident was never ever mentioned again.......

Rich,
I can't stop laughing. the same thing happened at the Paynesville Slip yard whilst I was first aid officer there. Made quite a mess, but not as much of a mess as the apprentice who chopped his hand off at the wrist using a band saw the wrong way. Rick.
