Call your doctor: While anesthesia can persist for hours after surgery, depending on what medication us used, numbness days later isn't typical. Anytime you have a concern after a surgical procedure, your doctor is the best person to contact, for your peace of mind...And his.

Nail: Paresthesia or numbness is not uncommon after local nerve blocks; permanent nerve damage it's unlikely from a simple nail avulsion. Sometimes inflammation and nerve irritation causes numbness. "sensation" to the toe should come back slowly, if symptoms persist let your surgeon know.
