It will probably only hurt for the first few days...if the whole thing is bruised, eventually, it will fall off, but at that point, it won't be painful. That has been my experience when I've lost toenails.

I am so sorry for your pain!

This happened to be about 12 years ago during high school cross country. I must say - your toe nail will grow out and fall off. It is a dead toenail.

The pain should go away over time. There is not much you can do but get new running sneakers! Treat yourself!

Sorry and feel better soon!!!!
