[quote=Anonymous]I'm not even sure how this happened. About 20 minutes ago I stubbed my baby toe on our heavy trunk like coffee table and it nearly ripped the nail clean off. Its bleeding a great deal. I ran it under water to clean it and just washing the area caused the nail to come off the rest of the way. I've used compression and wrapped it up. I've elevated it. Its still bleeding quite a bit. I am trying to stay calm and not alarm my 3 year old. I know this isn't an ER worthy thing but I'm starting to get very woozy. I'm also reluctant to drop into my doctors office for just a stubbed toe but I'm worried because it won't stop bleeding. I must have soaked 7 tissues in the beginning and several gauze pads. Its wrapped up now, but I can feel its wet and I can see red seeping up the top. Any advice? Should I go to my dr? How long should I wait. I feel dumb for being worried over a ripped toe nail but this is a lot of blood.[/quote]
