hitting your shin on a low surface like a coffee table, or walking to close to a wall or corner and hitting your funny bone or end of your shoulder on it.

Know the feeling with ingrown toenails. Had it on the same toe 5 times. Been alright since the last time when they burnt the flesh (or whatever it is they do) but still.

First time i had 9 injections of painkillers to try and numb it because it was so infected. Still didn't work. Had to have it removed and feel the full pain. I blacked out.

Shaving with a razor and accidentally cutting your fingernail.

Thank you for not posting pics of the ingrown toenail btw.

Used to get ingrown toenails on my big toes, they'd get infected and turn green and ous would come out. Had to have a GP cut and remove the inside of the toenail on each foot. The needle straight down the center of the toe to numb it was absolutely killer.

Otherwise my annoying one; I bite my finger nails and sometimes tear the nail off too far back, meaning I end up with a really sore and painful finger that I can't put pressure on.

Also as I get older just general stretching / pulling / throwing out of muscles etc. Seriously, I never believed it when I was younger that you could hurt yourself doing anything mundane, and if you did it healed in a day or two at most. Now I'm older and far less active everything physical is a chore. I got a 2ltr bottle of drink out the fridge the other week and it must habe gone through all the incorrect motions to do so because it threw my back out. It took over a week to heal : / yeh, just getting a drink out of the fridge. Fuck getting older. What are my 40's and 50's going to be like if it's already like this?

They're normally not that bad as long as you get help quickly. I had one about ten years ago. I woke up in the middle of the night because my toe hurt so badly. I had to put ice on it in order to fall back asleep. I told my mom about it and she took me to the doctor who did mini-surgery on it. They give you some anesthesia and you don't feel a thing (though don't look down at your toe when it's being operated on). Every time my toe or finger hurts a bit, I always fear I'm going to get an ingrown nail.

Those weird bimonthly mouth sores I get are pretty annoying.
Ingrown toenails suck ass, good lord

I use to get these a lot too, then I heard sometimes it may be associated with toothpaste and the ingredients. I switched to regular Crest and haven't had them in a while now.

I used to get them far more constantly. Like two in half a year. Painful as fuck. Then I got one of those really small tweezers and just pulled them out instead of digging/waiting for them to pop out to handle them. Helps if you soak your feet for a while.
