A member asked:
I have a severe pain in the tip of my little finger. it throbs and comes on every now and again. last night it woke me up. i can see a purple vein?

Pain: This could be as benign as a contusion to a splinter hemorrhage. If you see the vein under your nail I would be suspicious for a splinter hemorrhage witch can be associated with more severe disease. Contusion petechial lesion or some type of tenosynovitis possible
