So this is kinda wierd....For some reason when I go running, my two toes that are beside by big toe always get blisters on them. One week I ran extra (every day), and I must have put too much pressure on the toenails, because they died and fell out by themselves. Well one grew back just like it was before, but the other one grew back all wierd. It grew back all thick and bumby. It didnt grow back all straight and normal, it grew up (if that makes sense). Well it has probably been like 8-10 months, and I have waited to see if it would fix itself, but it hasn't. So, the other night I pulled it out, hoping that it would grow back normally like the other. Now I am afraid that it won't grow back at all. Any advice?

See a podiatrist.

Ouch! You mean you just pulled it out?
It sounds like you are describing a fungal infection. Not all fungal infections of the nail are yellow and thick. Your nail will grow back, but if it is infected with a fungus it will grow back still infected. You need to go to your doctor or podiatrist to get an antifungal prescription if this bothers you.

First, your running shoes are not the right fit-too tight or small for you, that's why you got problems with your toes. Second, your nail bed might have been damaged already, hence your nail didn't grow back right. Even if you pull your nail every now and then, it will grow back weird looking.

It will definitely grow back, but it sounds like you got an infection or some kind of fungus, you might consider going to a podiatrist.
