Should i get my toe nail removed? it's swollen and hurts after i stubbed it.. i can't walk on it and i have softball all week

Ouch: I can assure you that removing it is not going to make it easier to play softball this week. It is usually quite tender for 2-4 months after removing the whole thing.

See podiatrist: Need to make sure there is no underlying fracture of the toe or nail bed laceration.
