Answer 1

well i have had that happend only 2 my fingernail. i dropped a rock on it and it turned blue and black. it took my nail about 3weeks to come of completly(after about 2 weeks it wuz half off) and from the way it sounds i dont think your toe is broken and i think you will loose your nail. but dont freak. Im only 12 and my finger nail came off about a month ago and it has almost grown all the way back. once you lose your toe nail i promise you it wont hurt, in fact it will feel a lot better. you just have to keep it covered so it wont get infected.

Answer 2

I have the same thing, I bought a pair of gym shoes and they felt alright when I bought them, but the more I wore them it felt like the left shoe was tighter on my foot then the right, and after a couple weeks I noticed a bruise under my nail. I thought it was cuz I was working on my feet again after having a sit down job, but then I realized it must have been from the one shoe being kinda too tight. All in all, I have a bruise too and it hasn't gone away and I got it mid Oct. So if ya get a good answer let me know!

Answer 3

well my oldest brother had a motorcycle Crash with a deer at 50mph and got some broken bones and a broken big toe and his toe nail did not fall off but was black for a long time so yours will not fall off and feel your toe to see if anything feels broken if it feels like its fine then it just needs time to heal up

Answer 4

possibly ur toe nail night fall off but to prevent this you should put ice on it twice every hour and show it to a doctor.
