My fingertips, under the nail, were very sore. painful to use hands because of the pressure. they are discolored 1/2 way down the nail. what causes?

Trauma?: Sounds like it might be a blood collection under there. Was there any trauma or repetitive use? There is a procedure that a doctor can perform to relieve the pressure and pain if you would like.
