Podiatry how come i still keep feeling pain 3 months after my ingrown toenail was removed?

TOE NAIL: This is not common. Usually when toe nail is removed pain only lasts a few days. I would go back and see the podiatrist again.

Pain: This isn't normal. Sometimes some dead tissue is healed over by the body and needs to be removed , or a piece of nail remains. See your podiatrist for assistance.

Take care of it.: On occasion a small piece of nail may be left behind that can be source of you pain and discomfort. Have it evaluated and get the appropriate treatment.

Could be regrowing: If the doc didn't permanently remove it and did a simple excision, it may have regrown into the spot that it happened the first time.

If wound healed then: 3 months is typically long enough for your ingrown toenail to heal. It's possible that there may still be a small piece in there. Other things to consider is infection, burning from chemical( if that was used) most likely debris or a piece of the nail still embedded.

Not normal : you should have it checked because it should feel pain free now that it is fixed. Perhaps it still had a piece of nail growing in that was missed it is growing back.

Either : You might have a spike still there or a cprs

Nerve: The pain after ingrown nail removal could be related to nerve irritation. If the nail was removed permanently via chemical ablation, there may be part of the nail growing back

Problem: This is not normal, return to your Podiatrist for evaluation.
