Link to article about my issue.

So.

A few months ago I got new work shoes. Like all shoes, you need to break them in. After a short time, I started to have pain in my large toe. I figured it was from the shoe and that I would get used to it. I'm not sure when I got used to the shoes, but I did.

A few weeks ago I noticed a bruised on my nail (or behind it). It did hurt when I would put pressure to it.

Then it started to turn yellow and the nail started to get thicker. I wasn't sure what to think. A week ago I got some fungus nail cream stuff that I have been using everyday.

I think its getting better, but tonight, after my shower and after putting the medicine on (you use a small brush to rub on the nail) I got the nail clippers to use to clean the side of the nail, to make sure the nail stays clean.

Then I noticed it. The nail pulled away slightly. I tested it. I took the file part of the clippers and pulled a little at the base of the nail (where its the thickest) and it pulled up. This makes me believe (and from what I read at that website linked above) that my nail is going to fall off.

Now, after more reading online, this could be due to a fungus, the work shoe, or having hitting my toe.

As I was trying to sleep, I kept thinking about it and then more I thought about it the more I think its because of the shoe.

Now there is no pain. Even when I slightly tugged on the nail, I didn't feel anything.

I decided to stop by Walmart (at 3:30am) to get new shoes. Its good to have more than one work shoe anyway, so it not a big deal if my current work shoes are the problem.

So yea, my nail might fall off. I'm a bit freaked out by it, but like I said, there is no pain, only a yellow nail. There is no blood, puss, liquid, redness...nothing but yellow and a slightly thicker nail.
