Got in a fight with a bathroom door. lol. It was just awful timing. I was walking out of the barefoot as someone was going in. If alcohol wasn't involved I would of fainted. Worse thing is though that the door didn't come fully off. It was stuck at 90 degress. That was the worse having to rip it off.

Here is the nail.

The picture of the nail seems more painful than the toe itself, hope you are feeling better soon!

Done that with a finger, but they sewed it back on...Stitches through a nail are not nice.

That looks bad Tom. Keep it covered and keep the pain killer going

I am thinking I need to go to the doc. I don't know what they would do for me though. I am worried about the new nail growing wrong. Never done this before.

I did the same thing a couple years ago. I was going down steps in an unfamilair house in the midle of the night and caught the bottom step with my heel, ankle flexed forward and bent the nail back almost completely off. Didn't know it at the time, thought I sprained my big toe. I was wearing heavy socks and went back to bed. Next morning, squish squish. Uh oh.

I'm thinking you need to send Tobra a PM and get a recommendation for a Dr. in Houston. He used to be a Dr. in the area here and he must know some good docs he would trust. And he can make a call, to get you an early appointment.

You aren't going to die. And even if you do everything right, the nail still will probably not grow back in correctly. My right hand ring finger nail hasn't been right since I was 12.

Dude! Ouch is right! I have smashed my big toe nails and thumb nails before but never had one ripped off. I bet it feels like your nerve endings are spread out a foot away from your toe.

I've done that. Slipped on river rocks, toenail caught, bent back. I taped it down, hoping it would fall off, after about 10 days, still hanging on by a thread, so I grabbed some pliers and yanked it off. (The toenail, not the toe!) Hurt like holy freaking hell, and bled for more than an hour. Yep, that was something special, and BRPorsche, I feel for ya, brother.

F'ing A right!


That actually looks better than the guy I saw today, that I did surgery on yesterday. Y'all REALLY don't want to see that sheeit, it doesn't smell rotten anymore though, half a foot is better than none. If only the MFer would quit smoking and walking around on it for a few days.


Tom, you have a PM, too bad old man winter is kicking hell out of Tejas, you are fixin' to be in sandals a bit.

Liable to have problem with ingrown nail in a few months
