Had an ingrown toenail once and he's right it definitely one of the most painful experiences to ever occur to me

[Ezyeezy]

I had an ingrown toenail before I was so scared of taking it out lol

[strokefrosty]

Had this and had to get surgery he ain’t wrong it literally the most painful thing ever

[CHONKthebeardie]

Had an infection from it still recovering

[iaxo]

It happened to me, for half a year I just lived with it because I didn't want to go to the hospital,
Sometimes walking felt like getting stabbed in my toe and blood starts to come out.
And the worst is when someone steps on my foot by mistake.

[pelaajaman_]

One of these infections is gangrene which affects your Blood circulation, and when that happens it causes tissue to start to die

They flipping hurt. Had my left big toe nail removed and the nail bed was killed with some type of acid. The GP that did the procedure said it wouldn't grow back. Nope.
It now looks like a gnarly piece of wood from the tree in "Sleepy Hollow"....
Any ideas short of reremoving it??? Many thanks indeed....🙏

I've had 3, one was infected, it sucked
You can also feel the nail or even see it go under the skin

i had an ingrown toenail procedure done last monday 25th september (on my right big toe)...all was going good. no pain, no discomfort saw the nurse/gp 2 & 4 days after they were happy.. by the 5th day on saturday morning, i noticed yellow pus & bit of red blood in the dressing..still no pain. had me slightly concerned. sunday morning same again bit more pus the dressing. by sunday night my toe was pulsing a bit. by monday morning my whole foot was in bad pain mostly along the right side of my foot and underneath. couldnt walk on it at all. went to the hospital. they said nothing we csn do see your gp. and gave me flucloxacilin. this morning the pain was 10x worse. went to the gp. they said its badly infected nothing they can do. its most likely cellulitis. i said cant cellulitis result in amputation / life threatening sepsis..they said no thats impossible. saw the nurse in the gp. she said my toes badly infected but the pain in my foot is unrelated cos i should be feeling pain on the left side of my right foot…not my right side..as the nerve from the toe goes straight down and not across?

thing thing is had a minor toenail clipping done in july where it leaked a bit of blood i developed the same problem. pain in the same area. that feels exactly the same less than a week after a minor toenail clipping. i saw a different gp than. he said it was a sprain? even though i done nothing to sprain it. following 2-3 days it got worse. more noticeable swelling. so i went to hospitsl. where i sat in the waiting room for 15 hours because the head nurse didnt no what to do for me
until the doctor came in. he said it was a severe infection with bad cellulitis underneath the skin. and if i waited 3 or so days more. i could of ended up with sepsis in my bloodstream. or possibly needed amputation 🤯.

so im very worried atm. as none of my local gp’s or hospitals seem to help.

I had it for 3 years, just recovered and got it back 1 week ago and i can barely walk because its so painful (yes on both my toes

[nwodepopulationcomingverys]

Soften your feet by wetting them makes it easy to cutt or just get clippers and clip

[Celestiyee]

Im going to absolutely fucking cry, my foot hurts so much i can feel my big ass toe throbbing in pain, its literally 4.15 AM and i have to get up early and do a lot of stuff in six hours

[gabeluke]

I had a ingrown toe nail in my foot for about 4 years i almost couldn't walk but i kept going cause no insurance soon i broke down and just ripped it out ever 2 weeks

[madie]

Not me being a woos and having an in grown toe nail and hearing this dude go ‘Incredibly painful’ I’m dying right now 😅😮😢

[antant]

Dam, that toe facial expression looked serious.!!

[officialangelv]

it hurts so bad. i’ve had one for years. it hurts everyday due to an injury i had

[theDelta]

THIS SHIT HURTS SO FUCKING BAD I HAVE TO GET A NEOSPORIN BANDAID DAILY AND POUR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE ON IT WHILE TRYING NOT TO STUB MY TOE ON THE DISHWASHER OR ON MY DOORFRAMES AND WHEN I SHOWER WATER FALLING ON IT FEELS LIKE FUCKING PEBBLES

[ItsDarkZero]

He was healing and out of no where the toenail grows fast and I have to clear it again

[daniels]

had a few fixed with wedge resection procedure. a few failed. most successful one was when the podiatrist actually stitched my nailbed to the side of my toe, best result ever but for 3 days after it felt like my entire foot had been smashed with hammers 10/10

[Gray_Foss]

This is not a joke. They hurt so bad and do not cut it out ur self it will get worse I have done it before it worked the first time but then it just got deeper and if it keeps happening u have to get shots and they will put something on it so it will not grow back in that area!!
