I've done this before as a Corpsman in the Navy.  The area around the nail is numbed, then using a pair of clippers or anything it takes the sides of the nail need to be cut and pried out of the skin that's holding it in.  So you're left with a nail up the middle but nothing on the side(s).  The operations doesn't hurt but it will be very sore for a while afterward.

After all treatment to teeth there is going to be a bit of post-op pain as the nerve recovers. For most of the time everything will setlle within a day.\nWith a crown, it's not always the depth so much but the broad area of tooth damaged that can cause post-op pain. Some cements are irritating too. I always like to swab the tooth prep down with corticosteroid eye drops before cementation.\nEven with the best care, there is always some risk of permanent damage, resulting in continuing post-op sensitivity and the need for an RCT. This risk has been estimated at 5-10%.\nFor the moment, take some ibuprofen painkillers and monitor what happens. It'll either get better or worse, and there's nothing anyone can do at this stage.

Sorry to say, but yes it hurts!!!! this because of the nerve ending normally covered by the nail, they are now exposed.The shock of the warm salt solution will go away after two to three minutes of soaking. It's worth the pain. It will heal faster, and the pain will actually go away. I have been there, and got the t-shirt. I know first hand what you are going through!!!!

I had the same problem.  Try Orly nail Defense.  It strengthnes your nail.  Believe me, I tried everything but this one really works.  It might take 2-4 weeks to see result.

If the surgery is worth it? Depends on your pain tolerance...not to mention infection.  However, I just got 2 ingrown toenails removed, along with cutting off a oice of skin my doctro put something to on my toenali root to kill a small portion of my toenail (the portion that kept getting ingrown). It has been three years and I have yet to get another one. I wear boots and climbing shoes all the time and have yet to have another toenail become ingrown.\n\nI would get the surgery and ask about stopping the root from coming back, some way to kill that bad part.

Sounds like you have a dry socket.  Since it's Sunday night, let me offer the following suggestion for tonight:\n\nBite on a moist piece of gauze exactly the way you did after your tooth was removed.  Keep changing the gauze as needed.  This will keep the air and saliva from getting in there and that is the cause of a lot of the pain.  You COULD get some benzocaine 20% (OraJel, etc) and put a dab on the gauze where it will touch the socket if plain gauze doesn't stop the pain.\n\nOf course, you already know that you need to see the dentist for proper treatment and best relief.

I am so glad you asked.\nEpson salt and really hot water-soak your infected foot. If you get them concurrently like I had in the past, go to the podiatrist, have him to a procedure on you that consists of numbing your toe up, cutting the nail off, jabbing huge q-tips with a chemical called phenyll on them down  into your  sides of the toe, and wrapping them up and wabam, ur done. Umm, I made that sounds REALLY painnful, but it is not at all, I watched the whole thing conscious, but then again, I was numbed up. Have fun, andif  you have any further questions email me at lawguy04_1984@hotmail.com... :-)

Hey I feel your pain! Had mine removed last fall.  For the first few days I just ate food I didn't have to chew so I didn't get food stuck in the wounds - yogurt, etc.  Also, and this is important!--  Ask your dentist's office for a special thing that looks like a clear plastic little syringe - you fill it with water and spray into your wounds to clean them.  That helped me a lot!feel better soon, good luck! :)

Sorry I'm not a doc but I had an ingrown toenail when I was pregnant. I couldn't reach my toe very well and it was too sore to let anyone else touch. When I asked a doctor about it she was going to charge $80 to trim it (no way) but she gave me tips on how to trim it so that the nail would grow out (didn't work). Finally, after about 6 months of messing around with it the offending spur of nail got soft (yes it was infected) and came off. So, unless you have an angry red area that is shooting up your toe (serious infection) you probably are not at risk for gangrene. Yes I am a tightwad, and stubborn, and I should have gotten it taken care of sooner. But I lived though the whole thing and I still have my toe (which is starting to get sore again).

After surgery, a few days off of it.  A few more days of pain and discomfort.  Pretty active in a few weeks.  Completely normal 6-8 weeks.  (That is what happened to me)

If you did this yesterday the bleeding under the nail has stopped by now. (unless you are on blood thinners for some reason in which case you need to go to the ER). The nail will continue to get darker and so may the toe. It will be no different than anyother bruise and it will change colors as it resolves. Yes your nail will probably fall off.\nPutting a hole in the nail at this time probably won't do anything. You need to do that while it is still actively bleeding or just after. It is to release the blood collection thereby  releasing the pressure. But since it happened yesterday the blood is already coagulated so it will not come out it just has to be reabsorbed.\nPersonally I would soak the foot a couple times a day for 20 minutes or so in warm water or use a heating pad a couple times a day. The heat will increase the circulation  in the area and help to breakdown the collection of blood. Don't soak your feet longer than this though because you can do damage to the skin and cause other problems for yourself.\nWhen the nail falls off, you  won't need to do anything. The nail bed underneath will already be hardened because of the separation of the nail bed and nail so it shouldn't be painful either. Do keep the nail trimmed as it starts to loosen so it doesn't catch on shoes or socks or even towels. If you catch the end of the nail and pull it off before it is ready it will hurt when it happens and will continue to hurt for a while after.\nHope this helps\nK

What causes an ingrown toenail?\n\nWhile many things can cause ingrown toenails, the major causes are shoes that don't fit well and improperly trimmed nails. Shoes that are too tight press the sides of the nail and make it curl into the skin. Nails that are peeled off at the edge or trimmed down at the corners are also more likely to become ingrown.\n\nTo avoid ingrown toenails, you should cut your nails straight across. The top of the nail should make a straight line.\n\n\n\nWhat is the best treatment for a painful ingrown toenail?\n\nWhen the problem is mild, you may only need to soak your foot in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes and place dry cotton, such as part of a cotton ball, under the corner of the nail. Signs that the problem is getting worse include increasing pain, swelling and drainage of the area. Sometimes minor surgery is needed to remove the part of the nail that is poking into the skin.

sharp prickling pain is a great sign,  Yes the nerve is probably bruised and starting to come back.  A good sign. Hang in there.  Make sure you call the Oral surgeon to let him know the progress, he will note down the info it could help in the future if complications develope.

This is a complication that while not common is experienced by all dentist and especially Oral Surgeons in the removal of teeth.  Just make sure to call your dentist and keep him informed.  Especially, when new symptoms arise.  If the nerve is just bruised it will return relatively quickly 2-3 weeks.  If the nerve was damaged a bit more it could take several months.  Just be aware when you are eating hot food to approach from the side that still has sensation so that you don't burn your self.  Avoid chewing gum and anything that might cause you to bite yourself. \n\ngood Luck.\n\nOne more thing, if it starts to feel all prickly like tiny needles poking you that is a good thing thats the nerve repairing itself.
