In July 2008, I kicked so many rocks through PA that I started bleeding under my toenail. It got infected, formed an abscess, filled with copious amounts of puss, formed a granuloma, and was all together nasty. I had to have surgery in August. They cut the granuloma off and took the nail off too. It was a very painful recovery. I couldn't walk for over a week.

Fast forward to last week. It got infected again! I didn't even do anything to it this time. Now I have to have surgery again to take off my newly regrown nail. They are going to kill the nailbed so it can't grow back. Then I will be a 9-toenail-only freak for the rest of my life (thanks a lot Rocksylvania!).
I am feeling blue about this. Please share your AT foot problems with me and commiserate.
