Well, today I had my fourth ingrown toe nail surgery. Basically they cut the sides of the toe nails. I know LOTS of people have them. Maybe not many people here since they come from sports. Post if you have had any ingrown toe nails.

Weird question for this forum, but yes I have had one and I fixed it myself(lifted up nails with a knife and cut them off with toe nail clippers.)

I've had 3 ingrown toe nail surgeries sofar, last one was last christmas (I had my op. at the start of the holidays so I could rest for a week or 2 withoout missing out on school work), to be honest, I quite miss having them... They seem to have stalled now, but they could come back. I know one person who gets them anually since he was 2 or something...

I wish my toenails were emo so they'd cut themselves.

i get them all the time. i do the surgery myself to save money. and yes it hurts a lot to dig them outyouself.

jitspoe · « **Reply #15 on:** October 24, 2006, 12:56:22 PM »

Can't you just keep them trimmed to prevent that?

SkateR · « **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2006, 01:32:18 PM »

yeah. You don't get them from sports. You get it from not cutting them..slobs

Spook · « **Reply #17 on:** October 24, 2006, 02:26:01 PM »

not emo, just pain makes you stronger, and I enjoy not feeling pain. Getting to the point i do is quite an acheievment for me.

The pain makes you less tense when other things happen.
I love you.

I doesn't hurt, just put a knife just under your toenail(like you would the bottom part of clippers) and just move out while pulling up and it pulls it out without ripping it. After that just clip it and be on your way.
