Figure-8 tape that shit. If the nail is not swelling do the following: Anchor end of strip of tape on one side of your thumb (bone near your wrist is ideal), loop up over and down and across the pad, then back up over the joint and secure on the other side. wrap a strip of tape around the thumb on the far side of the joint, then another strip at the tails of the first piece of tape. This will secure and stabilize the joint.
Hope that made sense, feel free to message me if you need help.
If the nail is swelling you need to relieve the pressure ASAP. ER or Urgent care for that typically.
