About 2 weeks ago i ripped my fingernail out of the cuticle during practice. Well now its black and red underneath at the top and not all the way out (coach pushed it back in) and i want it out....soon. How long will it take, or instructions on how to remove it. Thank you =)

If it's anything like what I had, it could take more than 2 or 3 months to completely fall out. I slammed my finger in a car door. It was blood red the first day, then turned pure black in about 5 days. This happened the Sunday before last Thanksgiving (2010). The nail was still hanging by a thread mid May. As for it falling out faster, I would suggest trimming it with a nail cutter a lot. The more you trim your nails, the faster they tend to grow. Also, play with it a little. Like, if there's a piece of nail that's sticking up from it or if the nail is loose enough, wiggle it a little bit (if it doesn't hurt too bad). That's about all I have to offer.
