Try icing your toe, if you can stand it. Frozen peas are the best. Cover your bare toe with a thin cloth so you won't get "freezer burn. Gently put the peas, ice, green beans, whatever on your toe, and keep it elevated higher than your heart. It won't take away all the pain, but it'll help.

It doesn't hurt real bad no more. Just when the damn pain shots started wearing off... my lack of toenail area is where it hurts (the "under-nail skin").
I went bowling today. Did good (for me). Had some Amstead beer... got a solid buzz... helped the pain go away for a while
I'm glad yours weren't painful TX but mine is! They didn't just remove the ingrown part (I've done that myself a few times...) they removed the whole freaking toenail. My ass feels fine, thank you :p
You put your sore toe in those little clown shoes and went bowling?! Brave soul... glad the pain is winding down for ya, or at least you've found ways to ignore it!
So the entire nail is gone... will it grow back? I'm assuming so if he didn't remove the nail bed. Must be strange for ya, my uncle has one thumb that lost its entire nail in an accident decades ago and has never grown back... at first you don't notice but then you're like Hey, something's missing!

I have had a few fingernails fall off and they've grown back. And a few toenails but that's cuz I kept getting stepped on by horses with shoes. its kinda cool when the blood collects under the nail and you drill a hole in it. Its like a little fountain. Just make sure you do it over the sink and not the carpet cuz your parents will yell at ya. I learned that one the hard way.
I am not gross. Its a natural function of like to havee a nail fall off after it gets smashed...are oyu talking about the blood squirting out? THat's not gross. THat's kewl!
