Re: Ingrown Toenail Removal
ingrown toe nails are friggen painful as... you wouldn't think so unless you have had one yourself. You would me amazed how many times you "hit" your toes during the day. My daughter in the shops one day (I was in flip flops/thongs at the time so my chance of anything traumatic happening was very high) stood on my infected toe very hard and it took every inch of self control not to scream out loud in the shops in pain! I did start to cry a bit though and it was bleeding....ah good times, good times  |

Re: Ingrown Toenail Removal
My 1st reply here , thou I've been a visitor of this lovely site for years. Didn't comment before cause I didn't have much to say. This time.. I had this on my BOTH feet. Had 4 operations , kept growing right back into my flesh. Last operation fixed it I guess , because I haven't had any problems since then. The anesthetics didn't realy work once so I felt the operation quite clearly. The constant pain before the operations is much worse thou.. |

Re: Ingrown Toenail Removal
I had both of my two big toenails removed (due to ingrowth) about three months ago. Local anesthetic was used, so the only thing I felt during the procedure were the slightest little pinpricks and sensations of prying and pulling. About 20 seconds after I walked (yes, walked) out of the doctor's office and into the parking lot, the anesthetic wore off and I endured the most intense and brain-melting pain I have ever endured (even worse than my recovering from having my 4 wisdom teeth removed). When I got home, I could only writhe on my bed in agony for a full day, and was not able to stand or walk for a few days after that. Of course, my case was extreme: I had waited so long to do something about the ingrown toenails, that three new toenails had started trying to grow underneath each of the big toenails.

Re: Ingrown Toenail Removal
That's exactly what I thought when the doc told me that. I had no idea that my toes had been doing that. All I could see was the infected toenails on the very top. I guess the roots of those toenails had died off, my toes had tried to start growing a new toenail underneath the first ones, and when the new little slivers of toenails ran up against the old dead ones, they couldn't go any further, so they died off, and another new pair of toenails started trying to grow underneath those, and so on. Needless to say, the doc had to do a lot of digging around in my toe flesh to get all the pieces out. A little uncomfortable, and very, very bloody (blood was EVERYWHERE after the procedure: on the doc, on me, on the floor), but the operation itself was quite painless.
