Question 1

I'm really concerned about my toe since I had the toenail removed. It's been a week now, and the pain hasn't gone away. I make sure to get alternate dressings, but I'm worried that this isn't normal. Is there something else I should be doing, or is this typical for toenail removal recovery?
