So after a couple months after my Doctor did this, my toe itself looks much better. By looks I mean all the nasty swelling and coloration is getting much better. However, because I still dont have great movement of it, I can’t actually pushdown hard with it. This means that when I walk, the weight that would be placed on my bigtoe, is being placed on the toe next to my bigtoe. So because of this extra weight, that toe is getting ingrown as well. So when I saw the doctor he said to go to the guy who screwed up my toe in the first place and make him refer me to another pediatrist (foot doctor in case you are slow) and have the new pediatrist remove this nail.

All was fine and dandy until the day after he told me this. I was looking at my toes when I realized that my bigtoe is getting ingrown again. So let me break this down for you. Not only did my doctor give me a 3rd degree burn all over my toe, then not know what happened, and then was reluctant to send me to a specialist, he didnt even actually get rid of the ingrown nail that was there to begin with. Add to that, because I cant push down becuase of the burn that he gave me, another one of my nails is ingrown now. AGH I just want it to be over and done with already!
