runner duck Jun 2011 5:19pm, 1 Jun 2011 4,616 posts	0 runner duck that does look sore, sa! hope it's better. i too have sore toe/nails. both feet, the toe next to the big toe (and longer than the big toe). it's long term damage so there's lots of excess skin stuff underneath the toenail and the toenail is often blackish depending on mileage. but i did a half on sunday and they are really tender - on the top of the toe below the nail (presumably where the nail bed is) is red and swollen. i've had it plenty of times before and it goes away but i'm about to start marathon training and would like to avoid it. could it be due to the fit of my running shoes? is the toe box too big? i do sometime feel that my toes are clattering about as i run. any advice/help would be welcome. and apologies for being so long-winded!

Footpad Jun 2011 5:41pm, 1 Jun 2011 4,907 posts	0 Footpad Agree with PH loved doing this in A&E. Used to get big builder types in with really bashed fingers. Made sure they were lying down as they usually fell over as the paperclip came near them. It makes a very satisfying 'squeak' as it burns through. Not sure how a local would get under the nail. PH can you imagine infiltrating some lignocain up under a nail.... now that would be torture! SA sounds like your nail damage was too old and there was a collection of old blood under the nail. Oh well you get a nice hole in the nail to show off now once it has healed a bit. Keep it covered and clean.
