hi,katie
i think this is kind of boil which is caused by some injury or may be because of nails or shoes. watch the shoes you wear is comfertable... also clean your nail bed and corner regularly.

Dear Katie,
The blister in the nail bed must have pushed up the nail, and the pain may be due to the pressure on the blister. Consult a doctor immediately and if necessary the nail may have to be removed. In future take care to wear properly fitting footwear.
