Bumpy toenails
I have toenails that have “stress marks” on them.
They are white streaks that go horizontally on the nail.
It looks like the nail is bent in many place.
i have NEVER experienced any pain with them.
I am an avid runner could this be part of the problem? I have had them since I can remember and I was wondering if there is any way to cure them? Thanks for your time.

You are likely correct in guessing that running is the cause of your bumpy toenails. Any trauma to the nail can cause growth disturbances. As far as a cure, even if you were to stop running, if the root of the nail has been permanently affected the nail will still grow abnormally. So long story short- it is imposssible to tell for sure.
