Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ropivacaine and hydrocodone for nail-procedure associated pain management. The investigators hypothesize that ropivacaine with hydrocodone will be superior to ropivacaine with acetaminophen and ibuprofen for managing pain.
