After 6 spinal surgeries (13 surgeries total), the worst pain I can still vividly rememember is my toe after being stung by a wasp. Now granted, I am allergic to bees, and the whole - why in the heck is my husband in Canada when I have to use the Epi-Pen for the first time and get myself to the ER so I don't die from the wasp sting drama- which hurt like hell - didn't help, but man I remember 2 am with my foot elevated above my head on every pillow we owned and it throbbed so bad I couldn't sleep and this was even with my perscribed pain meds. Darn toes! You are not being dramatic at all!

The last time I really smacked my foot on something I had the same sort of experience. I glanced down and expected my toe to be bent in weird directions but it was normal. Until I really looked closely and noticed that a huger massive hunk of toe meat was hanging off the rest of the toe. You have my sympathies. I hope it feels better really soon! Dude, ouch!

It happened to me in the shower when I was in Chicago for three months having radiation. Foot slipped, caught the toenail under the "stopper" that was in the up position. Hurt like hell for a few days and then, thankfully, abated. Considering how much throbbing I experienced, I wonder why nurses don't take my pulse from my toes instead of my wrist. Ouch. And let's say it again. Ouch. Heal quickly. And get that neurologist consult quickly and effortlessly. For a change. Toenails don’t gag me, but having one ripped off certainly does.

Maybe just the toenail amputated then? My live-in doctor is not scarred of toes, you’re welcome to stop by to get the foot amputated. :)
