Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Does anyone get this? A few years ago someone stood on my foot with studs on in the middle of a game and my toe nail bruised and eventually fell off. Now it happens every fecking time I get a knock when I'm playing football. I went to the doctor but they said it is nothing? Surely that cannae be right ... my toe nail keeps falling off and it's all bloody underneath! Anyone had any experience with this? It's minging, tbh.

Maximus Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Possibly slightly ingrown? I've had this twice, the second time was with a broken toe. The first time I had to cut most of the nail away because it was starting to go black and growing back slightly deformed and crusty . Anyway, I've not had bother with it since.

Doyle Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Try changing your boots. I have a pair of boots that seem just a bit too small for me, and messes up my toes. Not very nice at all....I feel your pain! Without going into detail, my toes are currently "injured" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brow Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This happened to me about 4 years ago. Toe nail fell off after 5s. Now any slight wee knock on my toe nail results in it going black then falling off a couple months later. Its currently black at the moment and looks like it is going to fall off in a bit. Ah well.

Buffalo Bill Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I was asked to play an emergency midfield role for Clermiston Hearts about 10 years ago in a cup game in Ormiston but I was given size 8 boots (I'm a ten). About three months later, both my big toe nails fell off. The good news was that we won the game 3-0. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty normal for anyone who plays football that involves studs and sometimes 5's. I have the same thing on both big toes. Cant really do anything about it while you still play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm quite glad a few more folk have the same thing. So I just have to wait until I stop playing football? Fair enough. The flip flops will have to be hung up for a while. Sock/sandal combo is officially in fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Sock/sandal combo is officially in fashion. You've just taken me back to any holiday I ever had with my dad in the 80s, because for him, that combo was de rigeur. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Happened to me 2 years ago. Same situation as buffalo bill. Was wearing a pair of 9s instead of 10s. Big toe nail ended up bruised, going completely black and eventually falling off. Never wore boots too small since. Won't forget that game, as I got sent off ridiculously for a so called second bookable offence..was playing centre half, ball over the top which i was chasing and the striker was behind me, as we ran into just into the box the little **** clipped my heels, i fall face first and my hand grabs the ball..ref points to the spot. penalty.WTF??? ended up getting a 3rd yellow card when i told him what an arse he was. Anyway, did anyone have a sniff off the toe nail when it came off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimus Prime Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It's happened to me on a number of occasions. It's worth checking with your doctor just in case but 9 time out of 10 it's basically some form of pressure being placed on the toe which causes it to bruise and swell slightly. This dislodged the nail and it eventually falls off. All that will happen is a new one will grow back in it's place. The main causes of this is generally incorrect (or smaller) footwear on a hard surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main causes of this is generally incorrect (or smaller) footwear on a hard surface. Both times for me it was caused by some erse trying to be smart and slide tackle me but instead ending up just stamping on my toe. When the nail (half of which fell off) started to grow back in it was double the thickness and had a massive dip in the middle so I had to lop most of it off and then file it down a wee bit, it was soon as good as new .

Frank Sidebottom Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I currently have a partially blackened big toe nail due to wearing size 8 boots instead of 9s at the world of soccer from about two months ago. Am I to expect that it will fall off? I am keen to get rid of it so I can start sporting my sandals with my summer wardrobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better off with the sock and sandal combo my friend. This will be in this summer judging by the amount of Kickbackers with dodgy feet. Let's all meet in the Diggers and start a support group.

GreigC1 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I played with the Glasgow 5s boys before my trip to NZ recently. I wore trainers on Astroturf and went forw3ard inthem when I stopped suddenly, battering by toenail off the front of the shoe with my full weight. It went a bit bruised and was sore for 2 weeks but the doc said I would be alright to play again as soon as the pain went away. At this point there was puss seeping from the top etc. Nasty. Went to NZ and all was fine. I was playing touch with friends on a beach with an Aussie Rules ball. I kicked the ball up in the air but had managed to catch my nail on the laces of the ball. Ripped the nail clean off. Not good and pretty sore, but the salt water in the warm South Pacific was pretty calming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
