re: In-grown toe nails hurt like a mofo.

My wife had them bad. She had them cut by the doctor 3 or 4 times and they kept coming back. Finally last summer the doctor completely removed both big toe nails. She said it was worst pain she has ever had. It was a week before she could walk somewhat normally and a moth before she could wear closed toe shoes. Now there is no nail but the part that kept getting ingrown still grows a little and she has to take it out.
