Based on requests to see this bad big toenail, I post this photo. As you can see, the left foot big toeNAIL (edit: my bad) is still in it's early stages of coming off. It doesn't help that my nails are painted purple (with gold sparklies, thank you) so the black/blue beneath it isn't showing yet. Disappointing, I know. I'll post additional photos as this beast comes off.
I am disappointed I won't be able to yank it off and chew it while at J-tree....
Are those climber's hooves or what!

No nail on the little piggy on the right either. You really had us going.

The little piggies have nails too. It is just in the permanent I'm-in-a-climbing-shoe position.
The pain is all gone, finally. Now I can sleep. The swelling (that doesn't show so good in the photo) has also gone away. Here, I'll go remove the nail polish and see what it looks like now.
One moment please....

Mr. Z:
It probably would have been good in the early days, but it's okay now. Purdy, ain't she?

It's not photographing well (bad camera). It's all funky colored - definitely bruised/black/blue/reds. See how the bottom half is dark? It's dead now too. I'm afraid to poke at the base part of it because I know some giant crater will open up and I'll crack my head on the floor when I pass out in response to that.

It's a red box now. I am afraid to see what's going to show up! Don't know why this toenail thing grosses me out the way it does!

Of course I know who you are Mr. Z. It is I - the honorary Front Ranger. And you are my master.
No?

It appears that you have Morton's foot. There are climbing shoes designed for that, Dolomites, for one, probably others. Might be easier on your toes, maybe not.
I was expecting it to be grosser, but the ouchtake restored full quesy-ness.

Morton's Foot? Off to google I go. I thought they were just called "hooves". The toe does look better now that the swelling is gone. I think when it starts separating I'll need some prescription drugs...
Jaybro:
Dayum. You're good! Looks just like Morton's. I thought the second toe was suppose to be longer on everyone! I've had those pesky (and massively painful) neuromas too. Ever get a corticosteroid shot in a nerve? Believe me, it's something you'd only do once!
Where do I send the $20 copay?

Suggestions Brainblow? Just rip off the toenails or you mean paint them another color? They HAVE to have sparklies though (prevents color from being rubbed off in climbing shoes).
Please advise

That toe is nothing. I bet it won't fall off, the black goup will just migrate to the end as your nail grows. It will be there for a while though, probably a year.
I went through a phase where my toe nail would fall off after everytime I went on a big hike in the mountains. basically spent a couple of years without a toenail. Luckily it eventually grew back like normal and has been fine.
