I found this with a search regarding if removing the big toenail can cause pain in my other toes. I have pretty severe pain and a lot of seepage so it doesn't dry out and I had my toenail removed two days ago. I am looking for advice since the pain is so bad, and to see what others have done for theirs. I will be buying Epsom Salt to use besides the 30 min dish soap and warm water daily soaks. I'm hoping that will help ease the pain. It is also pretty swollen yet, along with more of my foot. I've already called and asked about the seepage. I was told just to keep an eye on it for a couple of days and make sure no signs of infection are showing. I also asked about using gauze to help keep it dry, they said I can if I want to. I just need the pain to subside. It's sharp at times, then throbbing, and very strong aches too. Doesn't matter if I elevate it or not, same pain results. Thanks for posting your ideas and results. I will keep an eye on this thread too.
