Rivkah,

Great news about your appointment, I hope it works out well for you.
My nails grow way too quickly since RSD/CRPS. They are not strong but they are long.
Nails can be a barometer to our health and sometimes at a period of being really unwell there is a reaction in the nail bed at the same time so they might grow out with a ridge or bump etc.
Hopefully there will be a nice new nail underneath for you so you don't have the pain of an exposed nail bed.
The other possible problem may be an infection , so it maybe worthwhile to check with your doctor for that.
My toenails are probably the most ugly part of my body I have a podiatrist visit but she doesn't make them prettier she just chops them.
No foot modelling for me
Take care
Tayla
