Depends: On your pain tolerance, severity of problem, presence of infection, circulatory and neurological status as well as the technique of administration of the injection. Generally, if you relax as best you can, under most circumstances, the injection is not excessively painful.

Hello. I had ingrown surgery on my left big toenail about 7 years ago. I've noticed that the outside part of the nail is buckling or curving to the outside. It makes up almost a quarter of the nail. Also some horizontal ridges. What could this mean?
