2 seperate things: Your toenail probably has a fungus in it or you injured it and there is blood under the nail. Your foot stiffness is probably arthritis.

For the past 10 months I have dealt with tons of leg/foot pain, twitches and cramps. Drs can't figure it out. I have anxiety from it. Very hard to live daily life. Taking magnesium. I get a pinching in the back of my calf when I walk. Fatigued easily?
