Warning, this is kind of gross...
Both of my big toes have been hurting to walk on, touch, or move, but both have a different reason why. On my left foot, it started hurting after I jammed it falling down the stairs. I think I just stubbed it really bad, but it hurts to move still after 5 weeks. I'm just wondering if I should be concerned?
On my right foot, I guess it's an ingrown toe nail, but I've been told that if I keep clipping my toe nail, it should be fine, but it's not. It's been like this for a long, long time. It hurts really bad to touch and walk on and sometimes pus comes out of it. I've been trying my best to keep it clean and clipped, but it's not stopping. A while ago, the pus was a green color and it freaked me out. I keep picking dead skin off it, too... what can I do? What should I do? It's really gross and painful... especially since I just got a job that requires me to stand on them for hours straight.

You need to go to the doctors and get antibiotics because green puss is usually related to an infection. Also, when you trim your toe nails you need to cut them straight (square shaped) so they aren't curved and don't grow inwards. On your other foot if your toe is still painful after that long I would mention that to the doctor, you may have fractured one of the small bones in it. Good luck!
