Why does it hurt when you cut your nails?

well, there are several reasons for this pain:

1: did you cut them recently? if you did you might of cut them too short.

2: you might have low circulation, try to avoid to much presure.

3: are you anemic? (iron defficient) because i am and i had symptoms like these.

4: using nail polish extensively could result in this pain.

5:long periods of pressure to the fingertips could cause this pain.

oh and one more thing, don't worry! I've had this pain hundreds of times and its not gonna kill you! sometimes putting ice or a cold object on my finger nails usually helps. when you have this pain try not to put to much pressure on your nail, like pressing a button to hard. this pain will go away in a few days so don't worry! :) hope this helped!
