Big toenail got grown in and infected, base of the nail came loose. Gave it a hard yank, but the nail was still firmly attached from about halfway up to the distal end. Totally ripped off. I've never seen a toe bleed so much before. One of my worst mistakes ever. I don't think I've ever felt such excruciating pain before.

Toenails are a funny thing though, I ripped my big toenail almost completely off (literally 90 degrees to the toe and just attached at the base) when I was 16, and would NOT let a doctor anywhere near it, even though later the same day I actually had to have stitches in my hand (ouch in itself, and yes, I was a clumsy child). I wonder if it's because it's so painful to damage your toenails in the first place, I really didn't want anyone interfering with it. I strapped the toenail back down and let it get on with it. Of course I then had to work out how to stop nail regrowth from turning into an ingrowing nail (tucking little bits of toilet tissue under the corners!), but it's fine now

Isn't it nice to have an honest, educational discussion? I see so much trash on the science forums and had very negative responses at some other sites with people calling my work rubbish and work that I do not understand.
