This has never happened to me before. I'm trying to crowd-source some answers from the masses that read this blog. I ran the Boston Marathon and 3 days later, my toe looks like this. My feet were already legendarily gross looking before this "injury." Now they're vomit-inducing. One of my co-workers who prides himself on being a "marathon runner" said I need to get a paperclip as hot as it can possibly get & then stick it through my toenail down into the blood area. Apparently this might let the blood get out, and that's a good thing? I guess the alternative is that my toenail will fall off and then it'll be like a year before it grows back properly. That doesn't sound like such a bad thing to me...one less nail to clip. I'll save roughly 37 seconds over the course of a year not having to clip that nail.
I really don't know what to do. Is a toenail falling off & then regrowing a painful experience? More painful than jamming a metal object through my toenail? I might have to make a Pros & Cons list to figure this out.
Please, if there are any doctors in the audience, let me know what to do.
damnnn that's effing nasty...with that said, i'd still take the wait and see approach
