WomanofSteel,
Have you seen a podiatrist? Losing my nails didn't hurt, but when my two big toenails grew back they grew into my flesh on both sides. That hurt!!! Not an ingrown toenail (even though I had those too) but into the entire length of the sides. I finally couldn't take it anymore so I went to a podiatrist. He cut the nail out of both sides of the nail bed and then put some sort of medication to prevent the nail from growing back too close to the sides. He also cut back all my nails and filed them down - they were very thick. My nails have grown back very nicely and I haven't had a problem since.
