Self removal of a fucked toenail - is it possible without causing my toe some serious damage, or making myself cry?
I'm a big boy, I can handle my pain, but this nail is driving my crazy. It hurts when I walk, It hurts when I sleep, and it gives me the heeby jeebies when I think about it.
I'm also starting to play football again regularly next week, and I just know that some b*****d is going to stamp on my toe. That's how it all started in the first place.
Just on the off chance someone here might have some useful information, the nail seems to have split into 2 now. The nail initially went black, and instead of growing outwards it grows upwards, so it's like a little ball, which has stopped me from being able to cut it for the last 8 months. A regular nail seems to be growing under it, slowly pushing the gomey nail further towards the end of my toe. Half of the nail is black, half is just normal.
The bloody thing seems to be folding down the edge of my toe now, as I can feel it every step I take ( every move I make ).
Help me. It's very annoying.
