My finger is really doing good now. It only hurts if I apply pressure at the entrance point underneath my nail. There is some dark discoloration under the nail, but I really think the worst is over. Thanks for all the suggestions and advice.

Thanks for that useless (for me) information. I enjoy knowing it even if I won't ever use it.

Cut back that nail as far as possible. It will let you clean and drain the infected area better which will allow it to heal faster.
