Never heard of a finger nail getting sprained. However that might have came from the impact when you rebounded the bail. Try to ice it once in a while. Just take good care of it by cleaning and avoid any physical contact on it. It will take some time to fully heal, but be patient.

if you dont want to go to the docor all you really need to do is keep it straight, they have finger casts type things at like cvs, walgreens, some place like that. and they work :)
