Meh, ripped off toenails are fun.

The flesh underneath looks so neat.

I had a cousin who did something weird to her finger once... Not sure what, I guess she slammed it in a door or something, but I remember we were at six flags eating like hot dogs or something when she pulled it off... that was pretty interesting [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

When I was a kid I had one of my fingernails ripped off and the growth plate was twisted. The doctors didn't exect it to grow back but now you can't tell the difference between it and the other fingers.

Yeah, I love it when the skin where the nail used to be starts hardening to make a new nail. That's cool.

I lost a big chunk of a toenail once, and that was pretty cool, but never the whole thing.

I can remember once a mate ripped out a fingernail and the entire nailbed. Ewch.

I took off my thumbnail once, well i slammed it in a car door cuz im an idiot, and was paying attention to my gf and then had to act the whole night that my thumb was ok. After i dropped her off i went home and couldnt sleep cuz of the pressure under the nail and was moaning the whole night in pain. Then i went to the ER where they took a hot needle and put a hole in my thumbnail to get the blood pressure out, wow talk about painful... Anyways it fell fo and looked super cool and its wierd to because i thought ur nail grew horizontal outward while it actually grows upwards from beneath ur skin, kinda cool!

I was five. Very windy rain-thunder storm outside. I opened the door to the yard, clutch the doorframe, heavy gust blows the door shut jamming my right hand, and the "edge" of the door coming down on my right thumbnail. I pulled my hand out of the jam, and was trying to examine it in the murky gloom (power was out), when the lightning flashed and I saw how horrific it looked. The nail had cracked horizontally across, flattening the middle and prying the upper half loose so that the nail fragment was dangling, only attached to the lower nail-base by a flap of skin and the corner of the crack. Dark red blood was also running down my thumb. At first it didn't even hurt, I was in such a shock, but once I did feel it, it was excruciating.

But yeah, it does grow back in a cool way when the skin where the nail itself should be hardens to form the nail. I'd almost forgotten it, but now I remember with this subject being brought up. At first it'll look kinda disgusting, with a very thin bumpy, pink, semi-hard surface, but it should grow from there and for me at least there is no sign of anything ever having happened to my thumbnail.

Here's hoping for a speedy painless regrowth.

I had a wart right on the fingernail line once, and the dermitologist (sp?) would have cut it off or used liquid nitrogen, but he was afraid it would damage that little plate dohicky so he used an acid that makes it blister up and die over a few weeks... anyway, when everything was done and gone, while the blister was there it had put a riple in my fingernail, and as my fingernail grew out the riple grew out with it... it was really weird [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

it's grown all the way out by now, though, so it's gone [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

This is probably rather sick, but hey, its a sick thread.

I no longer have Toenails on either of my big toes... For some reason my growth plate is (was) shaped strangely on my big toenails, so that the nails grew out to the sides along with longer, this mean ingrown toenails, LOTS OF THEM! I think ive had at least 5 that had to be surgically removed because they got so deep, at my best had a point of nail that was imbedded into my toe almost a full half inch. The doctor said that had I waited much longer the nail might have actually come out of the side of the toe. So I had a podiatrist remove both my toenails and use a slight bio-toxin to kill the cells in the growth plate... Never had a problem with my toes again...

When I was 5, I was building something with a hammer and wood and I accidentally hit my right thumb with the hammer.

After the pain stopped, it turned blue,then purple, then black, and then the nail fell off. I remember it took 2 months to fully grow back.

i'm trying to eat lunch as i read the spider thread and this thread, wow i'm full.

en-e-way, i've had so many in-grown toe nale surguries that novicane doesent even work any more. eventully what thay ended up doing is taking a small slice out of the nail and deading that part of the nail bed, like a 16th of an inch. no more in-grown toe-nails!

A few years ago my dad broke the very tip of his finger... it started to swell up alot and hurt him, so he actually (and this was under doctor suggestion, as in he didn't HAVE to but the doctor said he could if the pressure caused too much pain) took a straight pin, heated it up to disinfect it, and bored a hole in his fingernail to let the blood out...

my girlfriend slammed her pinky in my car door in october. under her nail swelled up really bad and turned BLACK. we went camping for the weekend the next night. that was not a fun trip for either of us. she had to poke holes in the skin around her nail after a month or so and let the blood that wasnt dry leak out, then she peeled the dried blood out somehow. the nail fell off soon after that, and it's still only about halfway grown back.

hope that wasnt too much information for you guys [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
