Soak the affected foot in warm water with plenty of epsom salt nightly. That'll help with the swelling and pain and assuming it's not toe is falling off bad will help your body heal the infection.

It's an in office procedure to get it fixed and it's pretty unpleasant. Or go at yourself with needle nose pliers :)

And are you maybe cutting your nails TOO aggressively? You shouldn't be on the sides, that's part of what can cause them (OR SO SAYS THE ARNP THAT BUTCHERED ME, THE MONSTER)

Yeah, my wife is in cosmetology school so she'll actually get credit for dealing with it. Counts as a pedicure for her :v:

And I'm in the military, so unless my toe is actively falling off they give no fucks. I probably am cutting them too short, I generally cut all around and make sure there's no white and there's toe sticking out well past the nail. Same with fingers.

So I imagine it's some combination of cutting too much, and being in boots + socks for 10+ hours almost every day for the past seven years.

All I can really say right now is trying to work with a migraine is a horrible idea. I had to pull over several times because my vision kept going white and/or double from pain, and got pulled over once for suspicion of DUI (blew 0.00, just had one of the worst migraines in the world). :sigh:

Cops did a literal WTF when I said I had a horrible migraine, and asked me why my boss would make me drive like that. I wish I had an answer for them.

Closing manager managed to get me out about an hour early, and called every off-duty employee trying to see if she could get someone to come in to take my place. I only get migraines once or twice a year, but when the shift manager asked if the corner store at the other end of our parking lot had anything that could help, I told her "not even heroin would help this". I'm gonna guess she doesn't know that heroin was over the counter at one point, going by the look I got.

Upside: I got to sleep for about an hour in my car after clocking out. Migraine is still terrible bad, but at least I can handle opening my eyes and seeing any kind of light now. If it's not gone by the morning I'll hit up a hospital, because holy gently caress this poo poo hurts bad. I was close to getting a hotel, but the hotels between work and home tend to be $90+/night. Hence the parking lot nap.

Don't get me wrong, everyone has their demons, for sure. I've been known to indulge beyond my limits--with disastrous results--on more than one occasion. But, occasionally, you've gotta just step back and objectively look at your life; reevaluate what you've been doing and what your priorities are. Love you guys. Stay safe out there.

At the first full time job I ever had (working at a lumber mill/wholesaler) one of my three bosses once accused me of making up illnesses when I called off one morning with a migraine, because "only women get migraines."

There's your problem. I used to do that and I'd get ingrown nails all the drat time in my big toes. Then I let them grow out for a few months and I haven't had an ingrown nail since.

Straight-cut your toenails, so that the edges are clear of the fold of skin at the front edges of the nailbed. Otherwise, they ingrow. You can cut off the sharp corner that's left very slightly, but cutting your toenails, esp your big toenails, in a curve that follows the white is a recipe for disaster.

At one point in Mad Max, I leaned over to my wife and whispered: this is Borderlands the movie.

I still stand by that. Also I'm going to work four 12 hour shifts so I can take friday off and WITNESS this spectacle again.

On a side note, I was telling my coworker, all of 26 years old, to go see Mad Max, it's the poo poo. His reply? WTF is mad max? :mediocre:

Didn't realize it was Memorial Day weekend coming up until a couple minutes ago when a mass of emails came through asking for people to cover on-call. Now I need to try to re-watch Mad Max before this weekend so I don't get interrupted half way through. Long weekend will be nice, roommates gone from Thursday afternoon to Monday night will be even better.

So, thanks to wearing boots 24/7 for years on end, I have an issue with ingrown nails. I am also a master at ignoring them. I cut my nails regularly but if I can't get the ingrown part out, I just try to ignore it.

Finally one got to where I couldn't stand it, so my wife agreed to cut it out. Eventually she goes "so, how long has this been hurting?" "Uhhh, like two weeks...maybe three. Why?" "Oh, no reason. It's just super infected and oozing puss you dumb gently caress."

Stupid ingrown nails :( I never had them until the past two years, and it seems now like there's no way to get rid of them.

Like everyone else said, stop cutting em so short. I used to have the same problem fifteen years ago when I wore sneakers. I've been wearing boots, usually steel toes, for 16 hours a day over the last... gently caress, 13 years, and have had zero ingrowns in that time.

When I was a teen I had several of those, both sides of each big toe, one of them at least twice.
When I had a doc fix them, the anesthetic is the worst part. Get them taken care of, you'll thank yourself later. And you'll get some nifty pain meds and antibiotics if its infected.

I'd have to pay out of pocket. Our docs won't touch them until they're far gone enough to need surgery, up until that point they just hand you Motrin.

But thanks guys. Guess I'll just keep em longer and hope they stop happening.

Still haven't redone the mounts for the passenger side on the Miata. Been lazy and havent' cleaned up my autox times from a few weeks ago.


Lexus parts, Miata parts, Mazda2 parts, and a Kia Sportage diff all in the same shot. I gotta send that Dell box out, it's filled with some shocks that need to be revalved.
