Are not raccoons supposed to have two right feet?
Well if you've seen me dance, you'd know that I have two left feet. 
EDIT: (...and apparently one right foot. Where's my lucky raccoon's foot?)
I have had a lot of ingrown nails as well.
It used to be the big toe on my left foot, then I had that nail removed permanently.
Then it was the big toe on my right foot.
The previous time they removed that nail, they tried to do it permanently, but it grew back.
This time they removed that nail, it was done by a podiatrist, so hopefully it's gone for good.
I am in very little pain, and I don't think the toe is infected, so it should be fine as long as no one steps on my toe. 
I lost my big toe nail several times when I did marathon for 3yrs. Toe felt naked, and very sensitive without the nail protection. 
Hopefully, I do not need to go through experience any more.
Hope our Raccoon recover soon.
Pro tip: Jason is not a real doctor, stop going to him.
Ouch!!! I think.
I always had a habit of ignoring my toenails for as long as I could. In my dotage I’ve discovered a new kind of pleasure palace. I simply walk across the street to the “Nail Spa” for a regular pedicure. Those girls do wonders for your feet, and I come out like I’m walking on air. I usually go for the “deluxe”.
Yikes! That’s gotta hurt! Feel better my friend.
Thats an ouchy foot in the true sense of the meaning. :cry:
This is mutilation and perfect example how doctors “cure”.
All you need to do is file your nail to make it thinner, but only in the middle.
Oh that close , huh ? You must be a regular customer ! How much does it cost :money_mouth_face: and what do they “DELUXE” ? 
still got red blood, not zombie yet :+1:
I have had many ingrown toenails, and your words make no sense.
Mutilation, standard operating procedure.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. 
Ingrown toenails…and still haven’t learned your lesson and trimmed the others

Not trimming toenails is not a cause of ingrown toenails.
Also, I have only gotten ingrown toenails on my big toes.
Ahh I see, thanks for the heads up! I just researched it, did you have tight shoes on or cut your nails too short or something?
I’ve never had it before that’s all
I do not wear tight shoes, and I do not cut my nails short.
I am just prone to ingrown toenails.
You aren’t alone, RC. I had to have both my big toe nails removed permanently in my teens. Pulling them out temporarily never worked for me. They always grew back ingrown. Other than some odd looks I get when wearing sandals I don’t mind it at all. No more clipping!
The worse part of the surgery is when they scrape the nail root off of the bone. No pain but you still feel the whole thing.
I had several of these when I was in the Marines. Corpsman would chop it off and I’d be good for about 6 months then they’d do it again. Mine started when I was in bootcamp, the corpsman said it was probably due to getting the wrong size boots and cutting my nails too often. She suggested I go a size larger on the boots, start doing “V” cuts when I trim my nails and just file off the top of the “V”. That definitely slowed down the recurrences. Apparently cutting your nails stimulates their growth. That’s why they had me stop cutting the sides of the nails and just file them down a little. When I was off active duty but still in the reserves I had a civilian podiatrist do an IGT removal and haven’t had another one. I still do the “V” cut and filing but since I don’t beat up my feet like I used to there have been fewer issues.
Good Luck with yours!
