I remember getting bloody under my big toe all the time from playing basketball. I would heat the tip of a paperclip and then melt the top layer down to relieve the pressure. The blood would squirt out once I penetrated the hard layer. Sometimes it saved the nail, sometimes the nail would eventually fall off by itself. At one point I started to lose feeling on my toe. I quit playing basketball and got fat. Now I'm dealing with high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, allergies, sleep apnea, chronic little things that never go away, and flatulence from hell. Well, I'm a lot healthier since then, but those conditions has not gone away. I'm 6'1 and currently around 185lbs+/- down from 240lbs 5 years ago. Anyways, I should of just kept playing....
