Bit of a worry I think, seeing as your hair and nails continue to grow even after you die

I would ask your dr. And it is a myth that your nails and hair continues to grow after you die. That is the skin shrinking and showing more of it. It may be you aren't getting enough nurtients to that part of your body. I would deffenently ask a dr. Make sure you don't have anythign major going on.

You can go get some Sally Hansen "5 to 7 days nail grower"

I would wonder if the injury has somehow lengthened the foot and the nails rub on the shoe, therefore, rub off the nail????
OR, plainly I would check with the doctor and explain the situation. He/she will give you a proper answer.
good luck

r u sure they're not growing? toenails as a rule just grow slower than fingernails.

yes there is a reason for this but what that is I can't remember, go and have a chat with your doctor. Believe me it is worth it.
