Ingrown toenail help!
in Health ·
From what I can tell, it sounds like you’re stuck with surgical removal at this point.
I went through it myself, and man, you seriously won't be able to walk for a week. For the first two days, I was limping around and basically living on Voltaren just to get by. The actual procedure isn't the painful part—it's that local anesthetic shot that really stings.
BUT ONCE IT'S DONE, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE IT'LL JUST GROW BACK. Honestly, my best advice is to see a professional podiatrist regularly. The second you feel even a hint of discomfort, go see them; they can handle it brilliantly. I used to be a total skeptic about all this, but now? There is no way in hell I'm going back for another surgical removal.
Hang in there.
