I have an ingrown toenail that has been getting infected over the past two weeks. Yesterday, it hurt sooo badly, I couldn't walk and my mother told me to come straight home. I told my job I had to go home to have my infection looked at by my mother.

She says the infection is really deep into the toe and she had to lance the infected areas open to release some of the blood and infection. It was PAINFUL. She gave me a demerall (sp) painkiller and I went right to sleep. Slept for 10 hours. I can walk on the toe again but with slight pain. I'm going to the doctor on Saturday when my insurance kicks in to have a doctor look at it.

But yea, thats what happens when you wait two weeks with an infection. My mom said if I hadn't told her, the infection would have gone into my foot. :eek:
