well, i just noticed that after playing itg for a whole night, underneath my toe nail is a big red/purple/blue thing that looks sorta like a blood clot or a bruise. It started hurting my when i was playing ITG. Does things like this happen to anyone else? thanks

Most likely. I frequently get blisters on my feet after playing for awhile.

You could try playing flatfooted. It'd probably reduce the damage done to your toes.

I've gotten sore toes before, but never, not even after 6-7 hour sessions with all 9's and 10's, has this ever happened to me.

16 here.. i dont think it has to do with age... maybe the way i play. I usually put the weight to the front of my feet and lift the back of my feet up a bit? i dunno... lol

if you are playing barefooted ,just socks,or with uncomfotable cheap shoes, you will most likey injure your feet. i mean i have been DDRing for years and nothing bad happens to my feet.so it should not happen to you either.

Underneath your toe nail? Hmm....I've had the same thing. I never thought of it having to do with DDR.

I've been playing 6 years. I haven't experienced a problem with my toes, but it has taken a toll on my knees. Maybe I stomped the cartilage away...

I have one right now, I play flatfooted, I wish I knew what to do about it.

Hmm, the only thing dance games have done to my toes is given me some rough callouses on the sides of the big toes. I play about the same way you do, though I've been trying to switch to flatfooted. What kind of shoes do you normally wear when playing? My DDR shoes are whatever my casual shoes are at the moment, which are usually running shoes, basketball shoes, or cross trainers and I've never had a problem.

i usually use Adios. They are pretty comfortable. I do too get blisters and calaces on the side of my toes and little pinky toes ( lol ) Hopefully this thing will go away.

A month and a half ago, I stubbed my big toe on the inside of my shoe while doing the run at the beginning of Destiny Expert. I still have a dark blood clot under my big toenail.

On my big toes on both feet, the toe nails fell off from playing DDR. It was from when my foot was hitting my shoe when playing a lot in the arcade over the summer. It took a while but they grew back.
