Re: stubbed toe and a nail falling off
[ QUOTE ]
it really really hurts to walk. How long until this will go away?
As for clipping the nail, that sounds painful, and I think the nail is protecting the soft tissue underneath that would be exposed if I remove it.

Clip it. It's best let a doctor do it. You'd be amazed how much of the nail they need to clip off for it to heal correctly (not get ingrown, etc). When I did it, they gave me a local anesthetic. They took half my toenail off all the way down to the base.
Yeah, it hurts for a while until it heals.
