chiangrai Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Some thing is wrong with my big toe nail. It looks like the nail is dyeing. It has gone brown and yellow and seems like there is an inflammation under the nail. At first I thought it was an infection but I took paracetemol when it became painful and the pain went away which I took to mean that it was an inflamation and not an infection. It's usually only painful when you press it but twice it got painful and I took paracetamol (Tylenol). What do you think it is...........? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 sounds like a toenail fungus for which there have been other threads on this forum... I've had them most of my adult life...in my case there hasn't been any discomfort so I ignore it... looks like hell, though: 'whatsamatta darlin'?' 'eewww, what's that thing on yer toe??? is it contagious? stay away from me!!!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiangrai Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 This is painful when you touch it and sometimes flares up very painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiangrai Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 O.k...I will see a doctor...I was just wondering why Tylenol took the pain away if it's an infection......and also what caused it..... I will ask the doctor of course but I mightn't get the best answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Well, a bit off, as not in the toe nail, but gout most often strikes the big toe first... it is very painful but looks more like a bite on the side of the toe... just a possibility. Anything swollen there? for some people it can be so painful that the mere touch of a bedsheet is unbearable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what caused the pain Tylenol blocks the nerve reception for pain transmission is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
