I had a problem with the toenails on my big toes when I was playing football. Two or three times they broke all the way down to the root. I just let them soak in hot salt water for a few minutes until nothing is left connected but the root and yank them off. It hurt like a bitch, but my toes hurt a lot less once the nail was gone.
