Tender: Well my personal experience is that it hurts during the anesthetic injection, but thereafter, there is mild discomfort for several days. Your activities need to be curtailed for several days, and you need to take care of the woud with antibiotic ointment. Sometimes there is a fungal infection that would require a longer course of oral antifungal medication. Good luck.

Ingrown nail: Generally there is very little pain . Usually just tylenol (acetaminophen). There is very little restriction of activities unless you work out a lot or are in athletics. Then you just adjust as needed.
