I keep a pin vise hand drill set around for just such blood letting “festivities” and other uses. Has .5mm to 2mm bits. In a pinch a paper clip heated up to red hot works too but go to deep and it will get your attention quick! Fun fact, I have driven a 1/2” drill bit through my hand as well and have a cool X marks the spot scar. That got my attention too! Didn’t hurt a bit (at first) and I didn’t know I was got until I “tried” to pull my hand away and couldn’t. No it wasn’t turning thank goodness!
The real story. I was moving some pallets. As I was moving one the board broke and the corner of the pallet landed square on that toe. Well that was about two minutes before my hay delivery arrived. It hurt like a SOB but 30 something rolls of hay needed offloaded, stacked and arranged. Roughly an hour and a half later the adrenaline wore off and I was not really looking forward to running a hot needle through the nail. Especially since I could feel every heartbeat in my toe.

A couple days later it popped on it's own. That was pretty epic. It volcanoed a spew of blood and fluid. It was a welcome relief.
