Question about a toe nail.?

Question

You know how couples can do that silly, stupid, stuff that doesn't make alot of since? Yeah well this happened because my boyfriend was chasing me around in my front yard. When I finally got to the front porch and I hit the mat and a slid down. Needless to say my butt hurt. But more than that did. My toenail got caught and popped up a little. I've done this before! I've done it playing football, and once I did it in church. All on the same toe. This time I decided not to go to the E.R. and get it yanked off. Because they don't give you any shots to numb it and they snatch it off with pliers. So this time I've been doing pretty good but then today in class I kicked it again. It's poped up more and it's hurting slightly. What should I do? I do not want to go to the E.R. because, well because it hurts worse after they pull it off.... Will it fall off on it's own?

Answer 1

Ouch sister, you play football too? Geesh!

Well, I can say don't pull it off! That is one thing you don't want to do, for a couple reasons actually

1. It will look pretty gross

2. It will hurt like well.. you get the idea.

Bandage it, let it get used to itself again, maybe it will attach itself. Tell your boyfriend to stop chasing you or else you will kick him in the balls :)

Moral of the story, don't rip it off. Not healthy at all.
