    I stubbed my toe so badly a month ago that I’m still recovering from it. It took weeks to be able to wear shoes or socks without pain.

        I probably should’ve gone to the doctor, but I was afraid they’d want to remove my toenail. Now that it’s growing out, I can see it’s cracked all the way across the base anyway, sooo… 🫠

        In hindsight, I probably should’ve gone to urgent care. It didn’t feel like the pain was in the bone, but in the nail bed.

          Mehhhh I probably wouldn’t have personally. There’s usually not much to be done besides splinting it. Just be careful as that nail grows back, nail trauma is one of the leading causes for toenail fungus. If it looks weird go to a podiatrist, it’s easier to fix early rather than late
