yogini Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I just noticed that I have bruises under my big toenails on both feet. I think this may have happened a few weeks ago when I was walking around with compression hose and I'd let my toenails get a little long (sorry for the graphic detail). I remember my nails really hurt that day. But I had dark nailpolish on my feet and just saw the bruises when I removed the polish. So I'm not really sure when or how it happened - and have never had this before. Has anyone gotten bruises due to POTS or compression hose or know why it happens?

flop Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I got similar bruising and sore toes the other week from walking in compression stockings, toenails not as short as I usually trim them and shoes that were slightly loose. I think that the pressure from the compression hose and bumping the nails against the end of the shoes caused the bruises. It sure was uncomfortable to walk for a few days and I was glad to use my wheelchair more often than usual to geive my feet a chance to recover.Flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
