Sorry to spoil the fun but I've just found something on Google:
Injections of steroids under the nail - these are extremely painful and generally do not work. Removal of the nail - nails can be removed quite painlessly ...

If removing the nail for medical reasons than maybe a numbing agent might by injected but with regards to pushing anything under the nail YES it hurts - got a wood splinter under the thumb nail last week which went the whole length of the nail
IT HURT A LOT!!!!.

Ah, but if you check further, you'll see that a method has been found for PAINLESS injections under fingernails!! Just need to wait 5 years or so.
"Painless injections - Imprint Pharmaceuticals
Chelsea Technologies Group worked with Imprint Pharmaceuticals to develop a device that can deliver a painless injection under the fingernails or to the palm of the hand. The world market for this product, a hand-held device that injects a specially shaped needle fast enough for the patient to feel nothing could be worth £3bn. It is expected to be another 5 years, following clinical trials before the auto injector hits the market. This is another example of how Chelsea Technologies Group works in partnership with start up companies."

Just for the record, yes it would be very painful. Inserting bamboo splinters under the nails was one of the torture methods employed by Japanese soldiers in the Far East during World War II. You will know how painful this is if you have ever got a splinter under your nail. Believe me it hurts! Lots!

Yes, yes, and yes, when I decided to clip the end of my finger off in a printing press, the plastic surgeon injected the locals into the end of my finger that was still available. And he was able to save the nail bed so the finger, yes it was that longest finger, has a nail now and 10 years later also has the nerves and feeling in the tip.

Highly unlikely after all the fingers have a vein running down the side. Only reason i can think of for inserting a needle there is to relieve pressure from a crushing injury eg black finger nail broken finger tip etc. Had it done once it doesn't hurt the relief from the built up pressure is bliss

I broke my toe once and had to have three local aneasthetic in my toe including one under the nail. Cried like a baby.

You can be the guinea pig for the test - here he comes with
the needle. Let's try some other Auswitcz experiments on you too.
