>tfw fat and pathetic
>tfw dying to go to the gym and get mocked and made fun of by bro chads as an initiation ceremony to get fit.
>tfw can't even do anything because of my constant ingrown nail problem.
So far, the only option available for me is to sleep all day after work while doing that whole intermittent or water fasting fiasco.
How do I do it Jow Forums, how does a man with ingrown toenails unfuck his shit up, what are my exercise options that doesn't involve pressure on my toes.
Stop giving excuses fatty and go to a podiatrist wtf
get that shit cut out by a doctor
did it 4 days ago my dude, its still fucked and bloated, on both sides.
it grows tremendously fast.
Fuck other people and what they say/think. Go for yourself. Revel in the fact you’re the ugly-fatty who goes in and ruins their perfect and beautiful gym world. You’re not here for them and their opinions. Yohere here for yourself and for your own opinions of yourself. Fuck everyone else. Exercise alone, listen to audiobooks if you need to, it’s fine. Itms not about them, itms about you.
But do get your toe looked at first.
this will be my 8th time this year, doc is already tired of looking at my face and constantly having to cut that shit out, I don't even know what to do at this point, I might just completely remove the nails and never deal with this shit ever again.
I’ve heard you can pop the edge of the nail out enough to cut it by sticking a piece of TP or Kleenex under the nail. Don’t go too deep, just a little corner of tissue, and not too far. Wedge it under the the corner of the nail may pop up in a few days enough to trim it off.
But this is old advice, don’t remember where I heard it,YMMv
i had that shit as a teenager
i used a nailclipper and a small pin to lift up the nail and cut it
keep cutting and squeezing the shit until it stops coming back
Both of my big toe nails are ingrown on both sides. I've always cut them out myself. They have been like that for as long as I can remember, which hasn't stopped me from playing sports or lifting weights. You're full if shit and won't get in shape as long as you keep making excuses.
>had one in high school
>doctor used a syringe with a longer, bendy needle
>stuck it in from the top of my toe, curved it down and around the bone
>shot in anaesthetic as he pulled it back out
>used some strong corrosive to burn the root after pulling the edge out
Overall it was a fun experience, though I also had fun digging out the nail and clipping it on my own a few times (the relief was way worth the pain)
well you're probably fit, there isn't a killer pound destroying your toes when you bend them, I spent too much time not doing jackshit and ended up horrible and now I regret it, it has gotten so bad my toes get purple and sometimes black, I had to fight off infection almost monthly, I have no clue if this is a disease of sorts because i've seen images of ingrown toenails, mine gets really really bad, it smells fucking awful and rotten whenever I decide to run with them, the nails tend to grow underneath the bottom part of the toes which is why I have to constantly get surgery for them, its fucking depressing and already wasting loads of money to fix this shit but so far with no luck, I feel like i'm being swindled.
Get a knife, put knife under nail so it’s raised up, cut ingrown part with clippers. Works for me
Had this once and had to go into surgery for it - they loaded me up with a shit ton of morphine, was in bliss for 12 hours afterwards. pretty good surgery.
I had this too and got it removed by a doctor, but later it came back. Then i went to a pediatrist and she put something on the sides like says. Had to do this a few times and it fixed itself. Also don't cut your nails too short. Sometimes this problem comes back up and I put some cotton tissue under the nail on the sides and it's fixed again. It might hurt a little but you get used to it.
just grab a knife and flake the nail up, I do it about once every month to prevent that shit
Ive had a big problem with those too. Same story with getting them removed, they always come back. The best thing you can do is get some bigger shoes, and not wear them, or wear sandals as much as possible. Also stop cutting your nails as short as you do. Leave a few mm of the darker white part instead of cutting all the way back, the longer the better. It will hurt a lot for a while, but will eventually grow out long enough. hot water soaks and then one of these will work wonders. You can get them for $5-10 online.
Get a pedicure at a nail salon, tell them about it. They’ll cut it so it grows straight from now on. Give them a fat tip. Trust me nigga.
Used to have really bad ingrown nails too. Just cut the tip off leaving a flat edge. That should direct the growth
>doc is already tired of looking at my face and constantly having to cut that shit out
Maybe he is a SHIT doctor. Once you properly treat ingrown nails once you don't need to do it again because you are supposed to destroy the matrix so it can't ingrown again because it won't grow at all in that side.
Work your top half.
FWIW there’s a ham planet that goes to my gym and she inspires me. She’s at least a year away from even being close to normal looking but she’s there every fucking day.
Stop cutting your toenails. Put cotton under the sides until it heals.
Take care of your nails daily and eat less when you can't exercise
Stuff some cotton or paper towel or something under the nail. Sometimes you gotta do it over the course of a few days going just a lil further each time. The pressure will raise up the nail and stop it from digging into your skin.
Also make sure your shoes and shit aren't too small.
Did you get surgery or just had him cut it out? I got surgery for it a few times (which is unpleasant but worth it). Got the sides of my toenails removed and it worked p well, one of my toenails has been perfectly fine ever since, the other one, which had basically grown antlers inside my flesh by that point, cause i was too ashamed of my fatness to go to the doc before losing weight (which had me living and working out with that shit for nearly 2 years dont so that, it will make it worse), is still making a tiny bit of trouble every few months, but i just lift the nail and cut off the bits that are cutting into my flesh, it's more of an inconvenience at this point since i got rid of the pain from hell. I really recommend gettig surgery before it's too late. Hang in there bro, even you will make it.
Not a pedicurist. A podiatrist.
I had it done a few of times and eventually went with the "permanent" option where some kind of acid or something was put along the sides of my toenail after it was cut so it didn't grow wider. Worked fine. If your doctor didn't bring this up you should find a better podiatrist.
go to the doctor and get him to get rid of them
This shit works, leave it on for a few hours and your nail gets better.
After some time you only need to do it every few weeks.
This and I was 388lbs back then is just dig the nail out of my flesh with that thing on the nail clippers and then cut a deep part near the side of my nail enough to where I could just rip the rest off the sides and pull the ingrown part off. It would bleed like crazy for a bit but after doing this for a few years it just stopped growing like that.
use something like this instead of toenail clippers. you can just jam the pointy part down under your nail where it grows into the skin, and clip off the ingrown part. I do this all the time and thus have never had a problem with it actually growing enough to impale my fucking toe and cause inflammation, though if I leave it for too long my nail will start hurting as it begins to grow in, so I would probably have really bad ingrown nails if I didn't do this
pic related are clippers for plastic models, wargaming and such, (which is what I use since I had an old pair as a 40k player) but there are actual clippers that look like this. and in fact all toenail clippers used to look like this until they switched to their current popular design, the clippers for animal nails are still in this format
*so also if you can't find clippers like these at a local store (I doubt you will) and don't feel like ordering them online, just go to a nerd comic book shop that has wargaming supplies, they will have some of these clippers. there are some meme ones for $30 (games workshop brand) but just look for generic ones for like $10
I always cut mine out with a pocket knife.
