I imagined that it would be, but the problem is it's painful to wear socks at the moment, because it makes the painful parts of the toe throb unpleasantly and quite painfully too

I'm trying to work out a way in which I could pull the flesh away from the nail and hold it away, keeping it held away constantly, to make the nail regrowth easier. But the only thing I can think of is taping it in place, which sounds silly, and might not even work

I've no idea how to keep it away to be honest. Taping it in place might work for a little while but it wont work forever. Just keep soaking your foot and lifting the nail away from your skin and that should fix it after a while (might be a few months though).

That's what the doctor advised. I'm trying to do it a few times a day, but am really impatient, because I'm sick of my toe being really red and looking a hell of a lot worse than it actually is

I have a link that says to try wedging a piece of cotton wool under the ingrowing nail, to force it to grow properly, so I'm going to give that a go.

A tiny piece of the ingrowing nail snapped off when I came out of the bath just now

Luckily I can still lift it though, and it's only gone a bit shorter, so hopefully it will still be okay if I can wedge some cotton wool underneath it

Hopefully so. The wool is a good idea because it's soft anf it wont cut into your toe at all.

I just did my 8th bike ride of the summer. My goal is to do 45 rides before the end of August, which given my schedule this summer will be a decent challenge.

How long do you ride?

sebastian · Jun 10, 2010

Usually about 12-14k, depending on the route I choose. I'd like to go a little bit further, but they're currently repairing part of the trail I like to use, so I have to turn around at about 7k. I'm doing this as the cardio to compliment my workout with weights. My goal is to lose about 10 lbs. Just today when I got back from my ride, I notice that I could faintly see the line of my obliques. That's a new development, so I'm happy. Now if I can just get the remains of my belly to shrink a little bit more...

That's about 5 or 6 miles isn't it? I have huge amount of respect for people who go to gyms and work out. I looked into it a little while ago and thought it was best to spend my money beer to be hoenst.

lol. One months gym membership is one months drinking money, its a no-brainer really. lol.

Wait, aren't you Brits supposed to be metric? But yeah, 5-6 miles. I'm lucky in my gym membership. The university that I teach at offers a really cheap gym membership, about $150 a year, which might get you three months at a for-profit gym. And the trainers are $20 a session, about 2/5 of what a profession at a gym would charge. Granted, they're not fully trained--most of them are grad students.
