I've had one black toenail and I ended up losing it a few weeks later. Dead

I got another one there, but on the 1/2 Marathon... Confused

If they do hurt, then a hot pin can poke a hole through the top to relieve some pressure and drain the fluid out.

My black toenail hurts. How bad does poking a hot pin through your nail hurt?

I lost my toenail after my first marathon. It turned black and took about 2 months before it fell off. It required that I tape it down so it wouldn't get caught on socks or clothing. After about a year it grew back. Then, after running Miami last week, it happened again, with both big toes. A few days after the race I jammed my left toe under the bathroom sink and the blood seeped out, so no black toe! I know that I'll eventually lose it, but that's part of running. BTW, I was wearing broken in shoes and did nothing different during this last marathon. Sometimes it just happens.

I had two as well. It took a while for them to grow back nicely. They didn't fall off, but just new nails grew back and I trimmed the old black ones gradually. Shoes, mileage and my running form all contributed I think.

5k - 20:56 (09/12), 7k - 28:40 (11/12), 10k trial - 43:08 (03/13), 42:05 (05/13), FM - 3:09:28 (05/13), HM - 1:28:20 (05/14), Failed 10K trial - 6:10/mi for 4mi (08/14), FM - 3:03 (09/14)

I've had several black toenails but never lost any, just usually the new nail grew in on top.
