A member asked:
Can blood stuck inside the toe nail cause a lot of pain to the point that its unbareable to walk?

Toe pain: The increased pressure can (as well as the injury which led to the bleeding). Depending on the injury, you may need an xray to rule out an underlying fracture. A podiatrist may be able to help you.

Yes: If the bleeding has caused excessive pressure under toenail. If may need to be drained. If having trouble walking, see physician.
