Anyone here ever have ingrown toe nails? If you have, you know they can hurt. I have had them on both big toes for a few months now and it had been getting increasingly worse. I finally went to a podiatrist, they looked at it + took x rays. They cut down the sides of both nails so the toe nails would stop growing out into my skin. A few days later it was getting worse and they determined from their x rays that this caused staff infection in my toes.
So now I have these giant swollen red toes, and they tell me that they are going to have to take the nail completely off of one of them. So they numbed my foot and cut it with scissors for a while. Now I have no toe nail and the pain is KILLING ME!
Sorry to feel the need to share this with you all but I am in pain right now and really just needed to complain to someone.
Lesson to be learned: Make sure you clip your toe nails regularly. Do not clip them too close to the nail though. Do not wear shoes that are too small for you. Trust me, you do not want severe ingrown toe nails![]()
