I had both my big toe nails removed after suffering with ingrowing toe nails caused by completely uncomfortable, ill-fitting and too high heels when I was younger! |

It wasn't nice, especially when (hold onto your shrivelling balls), the nurse pulled the stitches out when changing my dressing.
One of the best things I ever did though. |

yes...had my nails and nail beds removed and sewn up, so I haven't got big toe nails anymore, so they look like they are upside down |

I had a very similar experience. Both my feet went black, and we feared the worst, but some new break through drugs saved me.  |

I cut a big toe nail badly, on new years eve. As it grew back it became ingrown and I put up with gross pain until May. I couldn't bear the pain of wearing ordinary trainers never mind steel toe caps any longer and sought out a chiropodist.
It was the best £25 I ever spent! (on healthcare) She clipped the ingrowing part out and packed it with a little cottonwool to lift the nail. Since having it done I am pain free and have a normal nail again. |

Oh I get you now. Mine are the same so you just see the ridge around where the bottom of the nail used to be. |

"and it's a bitch that you can't pain them lol  "
If I'm using a dark colour I paint where the nail used to be. It has to be touched up very regularly though. |

Have thought of superglueing a false nail on, but not too sure about that |

I've thought about that too but they all look so fake and I wonder if the glue would burn the skin.
I did go to see a chiropodist who fixes fake ones on however apparently she could only do it if I had scraps of nailbed or nail left to attach them to. |
