<div class="IPBDescription">stupid doctor.. stupid shot :X</div>Gah. I hate doctors. I've had an ingrown toe nail for about a year now and I finally got around to going to see the stupid doctor on campus. So his solution is stab me with a (#*&ing needle that hurts like hell and start cutting skin. And so now my toe hurts way way worse than it ever did before...
And the needle... I'm going to have nightmares about that needle...

I know someone who had an accident and his toe nail was hanging off (apparantly you could see the nerve hanging onto it, lovely <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) and he had to get an injection into where the toe nail used to be. Very painful but he recovered quite soon.
Question: What is it that causes ingrown nails? I know someone who has an ingrown hair but thats it really ^^
EDIT: Yep, I know a lot of people <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
That things huge!
had an in-grown toe-nail. They send him down
to the Doc's during his 8 weeks training. if he
didn't go then he'd be kicked off the training and
never stand a chance of joining the Navy.
Anyways, he went to the Doc's and she, quite literally,
ripped it out with these huge pliers.
He rang me the day it was done, and when I asked
"Did it hurt?" he swore more than i've ever heard him
do so....ever.

Can't say I blame him, getting a hair in your nail is bad enough <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

WTH?
In fact, I'm recovering from an operation now, had it fixed (permanently) 2 weeks ago. The doctor this time was better about it but the numbing agent was.... less effective. Really hurt, he said that the nail (which was a cm long spike) was forming a tunnel through the tissue and that he hadn't seen that in a very long time. After he did a bit of cutting, etc., he used a chemical to kill the root so it won't happen again.
...
It hurts to even read about that :/
stupid doc didnt wait till it was numb to rip them out
i sat up off the gurney... asdf
then they dipped some cotton balls in phenol, to ablate the nailbed, so they would never grow back... it wasnt numb for that either, and it burned like battery acid.
so now, what happens? no ingrown toenail, but i have two big toes that are totally numb, my brother drove over one in a car, and i didnt notice...AND a little bit of toenail is GROWING BACK...asdf
Worst thing was that the narcotics didn't work : (
Now, I got the same thing on my left one (btw my dad/grandparents/other close relatives ot the EXACT same thing, as well as all our feet are shaped in a special form <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
But, this time I won't go to that doc again who just said "Oh the narcotics work you are just imaginating teh pain". I really wanted to rip his head off to show him how great his narcotics worked <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Never happened to you? I have no idea how the hair gets there but it hurts even to touch it. I have no idea how I got it out either <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
it feels so good when they're taken out... except you have to soak your toe in epsom salt for a week (well, my doctor says to do that)
he put some chemical that was supposed to make it heal better and it turned my entire nail black... this was about a month ago... :o
btw he once took out the nail and put the acid in to kill the roots... and it didn't work... so the next time I went for that same nail, he put in a triple dose of the acid. i was numbed up but it ITCHES to this day! so wierd.
UH!
narcotics=something like drug o.0
hm OK new word...
anasthetics. This should be right. Sorry if I've been confuzing j00 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
(btw I thought of "narcotics" because when a doctor makes u sleep for an OP this is called "Narkose" in german XD)

That's why I'll probably never donate blood (I like my blood, nobody can take it! I R TEH GREEDY?!). I'll be keeping my blood thank you very much.
They take a pint of it! D:
And the needle... I'm going to have nightmares about that needle... <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
Uh, he didn't do it right then. I had *4* procedures for ingrown nails, sure it hurts like crazy and I passed out after the numbness went away, but it feels oh so good when its really fixed
As far as what causes it, in my case it was first letting the nail get too long w/o cutting it and then cutting it too short. So it started to grow into the skin and whatnot.
And for the record, now that the numbing thingy on my toe has worn off it hurts a lot worse now than before. :/
But god damn that shot hurt like a mother#$(er.
Why do you hate doctors though? My mother is a doctor... I like her quite a bit.

One measily shot? My big ol' toe took four! <i>FOUR!</i>
But it hurt alot...
Me: "Uuh coach I think maybe I should sit out from kick ball today, I got this nasty ingrown toe nail on my kicking foot..."
Coach: "Bah, just play son."
Me plays kickball.
Period ends, go to dressing room.
Me pulls off shoe. Notices big splotch of red / yellow on me sock. Mmmm bloody pus goo!
I know that, it's just the fact that I would probably puke at the sight of my own blood being taken out of me with a uber-huge needle of dewm.
...to my scalp
I got an ingrown toenail from a habit that I have. One day, I looked at my left big toenail, and decided to split it in half with my fingernail. Bad idea. I didn't have anything to cut the sheared nail off, so I pulled on it and let it run down to the left.
A week later, it was a cesspool of pus, causing much antifun, because in PE we had just started Gymnastic routines.
I think I've remedied it by myself. What I do is, I take a thin needle-like object (usually a mechanical pencil) and slide it under the nail until it reaches the ingrown part. Then, I go on the other side of the nail by the flesh, and then I dig down and unearth the ingrown parts, which I cut off with my nail clippers. I just need that root-killing acid..
