Why do my fingernails hurt? I don't have any injuries or bruises but they are so sensitive right now and have been hurting nonstop for 24 hours.

Do you message excessively on your cell phone? This can be a reason.

Also sometimes its because you get a lack of sleep. (Beleive it or not) Mine hurt right now because I got barely any sleep!

I am not sure whats going on, but if you clip your fingernails too short they can hurt. If they are too long, and you are typing a lot or something of that nature, as the previous poster stated, file them. There are no nerve endings in our nails so they can't all hurt at the same time. If by chance, they have changed color or something of that nature it could be a Virus, Fungal infection.

try filing them

That's weird...mine never hurt...must be a female thing...

I've always found my nails hurt after i remove nail polish, and they don't normally stop hurting for a good 24-48 hours, or until i put more polish on them. im not sure if its because my nails are weak and the polish gives them strength or if its the potency of the remove i use, but i do know a few other people that have the same problem.

its probably a lack of calcium try drinking some milk

mine hurt as well...

i don't know why. it's my pointer, thumb, and
middle finger that hurts. it feel like
it's right under the nail.

opening a soda can is excruciating, and it can't
be done. Anything involving a finger nail...
Pealing some foil off the top of yogurt, or any
other maneuver involving pinching. I can't read
my son a pop-up book cause pinching the tabs is
freakin crazy hurtful. Changing my sons
diaper, pulling the felt edges over the diaper
hurts as well.

It's unreal. I've got to get this resolved.

I don't abuse my hands at all. I work in an office,
and at the most; I'll do some yard work with the
rake, or something like that but generally would not
expose my hands to any bizarre chemicals, or other
substances which might weaken my nails.

Don't chew, bite, scratch otherwise mess with my
nails at all.

The only thing I see unusual is that for the
pointer, thumb, and middle finger there are a hundred
little white lines visible. there's not any distortion, or dark areas. Just the extreme
sensitivity and white lines.

This sht sucks!

the edges of my fingernails hurt and i cleaned them very well with soap and they have been huting for about 8 hours they are not bruied just when i press down on them they hurt!! every single one of them!!!!

Used water lately or anything that is mentally using your hands?

Psorisis!!

have you been doing something which involves your hands being in water for a long time? this can make your finger nails hurt or if you bite them or cut them too short it can hurt aswell

I was also suffering from finger and toe nail pain today. For those people who answered about cutting, biting, etc. they have no idea what you are talking about.
My toenails were in constant pain today from just wearing socks. I do get the same feeling after taking nail polish off but because of that I haven't worn nail polish in a very long time. When that happens it is said that the nails are used to being protected from air and when the air hits them they hurt. But then, to me, this wouldn't explain why my toenails hurt in socks. I like the idea of a lack of calcium and am probably lacking in that. Try a calcium supplement, I am. I can not believe there were not any medical answer in a search besides fungus and hangnails and such.
