It shouldn't be: Was the nail removed? Part of it? All of it? Was chemical applied.? Is it swollen? Does it look abnormal or looks normal but hurts? Where exactly does it hurt and what does it feel like?

Sensitive area: The toe is a sensitive area to begin with. I am sorry to hear that your surgery is having some post-operative complications regarding the persistence of pain in the area. Make sure you follow-up with the foot surgeon to determine the best course of getting your pain reduced, and assuring the area is healing well, etc. Best wishes.
