    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

        I think I’m good on that so far, but I’ll be sure to keep it aired out and clean. Thanks for telling me that. I hadn’t even thought about fungus.
