Will it hurt if I remove my toes? Or will it tickle?

It doesn't hurt. The biggest problem I had when I did it is, the bastards have a mind of their own and when you get to choppin', they squirm out of the way. Quick fix: use pliers or a vice grip to hold 'em still!! Of course I was tripping on acid when i took mine off so that's probably why it didn't hurt?! Who knows?

I too suffered many years with ingrown toenails on my big toes.  They are hereditary by the way.\nI used to try and dig and cut them myself but unfortunately I inherited my father's thick toes and it got too painful.\nI used to get it so bad that it actually hurt to walk and God forbid I hit my foot into anything.\n\nWhat I eventually did and I would highly recommend to anyone is to see a foot Doctor( podiatrist) and have them surgically removed (not the entire nail, just the ingrown part).  It is a simple procedure and I have not had any pain since.  \nGood luck

Yes it hurts. It's basically pulling your teeth into alignment by force. It will get easier once your teeth start going in line.

I had 2 ingrown toe nails removed about 2 years ago. I did not have the whole nail removed the doctor under local just cut down the sides of the nail. I had to have dressings on them for a week and changed twice by a nurse twice in that week. I was a lifeguard at the time and I would not have dreamt of working. The pain was bearable when at rest. Just a dull achey throbbing pain. It became worse when i walked on it. I did not go back to work till the dressings came off. \n\nIt really depends on what your pain tolerance is. I guess i have a low threshold. Though the other reason was becasue i dont think i could have done my job properly if i did have to make a rescue.\n\nHope this helps. I would take at least a day off as the local takes about 4-5 hours to wear off and it is amazing how hard it is to walk with numb toes!!!\n\nHope this helps!

When I get foot cramps I extend my leg straight out in front of me (while sitting) and curl my toes back up toward me as far as I can.  This alleviates the pain.  If you hold it for about half a minute you should be fine.\n\nThis has to do with the way your nerve endings work, there is a spot on the bottom of your foot that can be massaged to remove the pain, by stretching your foot in this way it does it the same thing without a masseuse :-)

I have one toe that does the same thing constantly, doesn't hurt though. It could be that there are ligaments slightly out of place and the sound that you hear is them moving around. If it bothers you ask your dr. next time you go in.  I don't think that there is anything that you can do to prevent it, but I'm not a Dr., so I could be wrong.  Good Luck!

Assuming that your doctor taped it to the other toes - going AWAY from the big toe - and not to the big toe, itself, as that could have complications.

Does that include scratching behind my ear with my foot?

Since I've had several broken bones, some very major, I'd have to say my toes because they've been broken many times, don't require a cast, have a lovely dark purple color when broken and hurt only for a week or so.  Last one I had, I was dancing and my partner stepped on my toe....didn't feel much at the time because we were drinking vodka, but the next day, it was uncomfortable.  What an interesting question!

Take Alieve, and don't put any weight on your toe.  Stay off of it as much as possible.  It'll take a few days to start feeling better.

Yes it's a very bad thing!!\n I do it frequently, just for laughs, because I like to hear the little high pitched squeal that they give out.\nBut I have now found it actually ruins your shoes!!\nSo either do it with bare feet or not at all, shoes are very expensive!

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.

Before giving me bad marks I think your should read this!\n Bad shoes.\nhttp://www.footsmart.com/Ailments-Feet-Hurt.aspx\n\nWearing bad shoes all day can make them hurt even after you take them off. Stretch your feet out like put your toes on something about 1 or 2 inches high and lean forward so to stretch them. Rub them with your thumbs from the heel towards the toe. then soak them at least 15 minutes or more in warm water while your watching TV or something. That should help them feel better before you go to bed. But you need to get better fitting shoes like with shock guard or something to work in.

I get these all of the time.  I usually go to have a spa pedicure (around $15) and have them dig it out.  They soak your feet and have a solution they apply to make your nails softer.  It is less painful than trying to remove it yourself.  Tell the pedicurist at the start where it hurts so she/he soaks your toe long enough and trims back the accumulated skin away from the area.  Sometimes you build up thick, callous like skin which forces the nail to grow inward.  This usually occurs from wearing closed shoes a lot, ones with pointy toes especially. \n\nDon't wait too long, OUCH, they only get worse as the nail continues to grow.  Good luck, I know how painful it is.

Get some lotion and rub it on with firm hands.  Next, it all depends on how sensitive your "client" is.  Some people don't like having their feet rubbed hard, some people love it or need it.  So just start rubbing some different places and see what gets the happy "uhmmmm" reaction.  Then ask them to "just let me know if I should rub harder or softer, or whatever you like."  Rub the arches, heels, balls of the feet, toes, and even between the toes!   Alternate between using your palm, fingers, and knuckles (depending on the sensitivity of the foot.)  Afterwards, you can rub on some peppermint gel (available at bath&body stores) for a tingly-cool feeling.  Don't worry, foot massages are easy, your recipient will love it.

cut your foot off with a hacksaw and put it in a kooler with some ice.  bring it to the hospital and tell them your foot hurts.
