Suggest Remedy For Persistent Pain In Finger Nail

Hi, I have had a painful fingernail for the past 4 years it has been tested for fungal which was negative and it has had a ultrasound and a MRI but all has came back negative. The only option is to rip the nail off, however I was wondering if you knew of any thing which would have the same effect but less painful? Such as mixing and liquids and applying it to the nail, eventually killing it and making it dead resulting in it falling off Thanks
