Unfortunately, the answer is not really possible to give, as dependant on the damage, and each individuals powers of recovery!.
Sometimes, it is better to totally remove the nail, as to allow a new nail to form equally over the bed!. and would likely give a better, even growth of new tissue!.
For some it may be quick, others slower, depending on age, but generally I would reckon it could be up to 6 weeks!.
Soaking the toes in a warm saline solution, though it might sting, should help keep the wounds clean!.
Good luck,

This is one of the most painful injuries one can have!. There are a wealth of sensory nerves in that area, and the circulation may be compromised, due to other factors in your life!. You can also depend on a secondary infection virtually 100 percent of the time!. All of these factors add up to a very painful and lengthy convalesence!. How long is difficult to predict, form he information you have given, however, it would not be uncommon to be debelitated until the new nail grows back, if it does!. That takes several weeks!. Talk to your physicain, there are some long lasting NSAID analgesics that may make your life easier, Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ya,,,toes are pretty sensitive for sure! My guess is you'll be back to normal (pain free), in about 6 months (from when the accident happened)!.
I also advise you to wear protective steel toed shoes if you are ever again in a situation in which you might sustain an injury to your feet!.
God bless you and your pretty little toes!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It will take up to 6 months (or longer) for the nail to replace itself from the cuticle to the free edge!. xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com
