OUCH! I am so sorry about your toenails. It sounds like nothing...until it's your own toenails, and I feel your pain.
I had bruised a toenail several years ago, and I just kept hitting it, catching it on something, or anything you can imagine that can go wrong with a toenail. I finally decided just to go and have it checked in January. The doctor removed it...talk about PAIN!!!! OUCH! Well, it's grown back completely, and three weeks ago the nagging thing started growing into the side of my toe. I went back to the doctor, and he took off about 1/6 of the entire side of my toenail. Now, the other side of the toenail is starting to hurt. I never dreamed a toenail could be so painful or aggravating.
In retrospect, I should have gone in the instant the new toenail started to hurt and maybe I wouldn't have lost part of it again. Who knows?
I sure hope your nails heal on their own. I am a big baby, I have found from experience, with anything to do with my toenails.
At least it's getting near fall...maybe closed toe shoes will hide my deformed toenail for the cooler months:)
