Answers:
I played Ultimate Frisbee for a college team, and after my toe got slammed by a cleat a few times, my big toenail turned purple and black and then fell off. It grew a little, then fell off again, then grew again, then fell off again... It took over a year before it grew back to fairly looking normal and it still isn't the same as it was before I lost it. - that was 3 years ago. I read that usually it takes about 18 months for a toenail to re-grow, but don't be surprised if your poor toe is never quite the same again.Health Question & Answer
