Hi all,
This being a design thread and all I thought I might seek some medical advice from you guys. Some may frown upon this, but the random stuff that appears on here I thought 'why not!'.
I play alot of Football (soccer) and have taken quite a few heavy knocks on my big toe over the past season. Long story short my big toenail has been black for a few months and has now split at the base!
Not painful but I wondered if anyone here has had their nail come off and how long it took to grow back!? Want to know how long I'll be unable to play for!
Cheers Dr. QBN

It's a bit like this one but more down one side.

Just chop your toe off. It will heal faster and prevent this from happening again.

I smashed a nail on my hand a few years back- took 4/5 months to grow back

ahhahah. this just happened to me too. late last year. i lost both big toenails the same way from soccer. mostly fools jumping for headers when they have no chance of ever connecting. big fools too.
both of mine had pretty much grown in underneath the cracked nail, so it was never really bare. i don't think i ever missed a match. just taped it up before putting on my socks.

^ lucky! I smashed mine on one of those metal water pumps you see at camp sites- nail popped right off my finger. had to go to the hospital and they tore it out and cleaned it up. couldn't put any pressure on it/play guitar for 3 months at least.

Jesus. Knew I'd hear some horror stories.
Chief - Exactly the same with me, big retards landing square on it with studs. It's been like that for a while so reckon there is something growing underneath, like a small asian baby.

i had to start using band aids to hold the cracked nail on until it was ready to fall off on its own. it was awesome when the band aid would come off as i removed my socks allowing the tonail to catch on the fabric. ouch.

I used to play football (soccer) too, and because my shoes were a tad small, the big toe nail got fluid underneath and fell off. The good news is that it will grow back, the bad news is that it takes forever. I think like 5 month.

Yeah. My pinky finger was crushed between two 80lb dumbbells, one falling on top of the other.
The nail was destroyed looking for like a month, but didn't come right off. One day I literally like, sneezed, and it just fell off. It was pretty fleshy underneath, and the new nail didn't fully grow in for another month or two.

do a lot of cocaine especially before a match to help stimulate growth.

I recently ripped off my toenail putting on a pair of pants. I had not cut them in a while and they were too long. It snagged on the pant seam and bam!, ripped right off, the horrible pain made me puke and i almost passed out. Cost me $200 bucks to get it cut off under anaesthesia for having no insurance. It's growing back now very slowly, looks like it might take about 6 months. It's a weird feeling not having a nail there.
