Can I play sports without big toenails?

[kappyben]

I play squash and both my big toe toenails are about to come off because of sudden stops and starts, which bang my nail up against my sneakers. I don't want to stop playing.

My questions is, can I/should I still play once the nails fall off? Is there a certain way I should cover the exposed toes?

Thanks.

Keep your toe nails cut and make sure your shoes fit right.

if the nail falls off, then cover the exposed nail bed with bandages, be aware, they will grow back over time.
