I've had ingrown toenails causing wounds in both toes for almost 3 years now. When I went to the doctor they scheduled surgery but the anesthetic shots were extremely painful - they gave me 8 injections and it still didn't work so they referred me to a bigger hospital. Now I'm really scared of getting those anesthetic injections again. Is there any other way to treat ingrown toenail wounds without injections? What could happen if I don't get treatment for this?

Chronic ingrown toenail needs surgical correction; anesthetic options include nerve block—untreated cases may lead to chronic infection or tissue damage.

I'm experiencing some swelling in my feet and sometimes they really hurt, especially when I'm walking around. I'm pretty concerned about it and I'm not sure what might be causing these symptoms. Could you give me some advice on what I should do or look out for?
Swelling in the feet with pain during walking can be due to various reasons. One common cause is peripheral edema, which can be managed with over-the-counter diuretics like furosemide. Additionally, elevating your legs while sitting or lying down can help reduce swelling. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. You will require a thorough evaluation to rule out improbably causes.

How much does bunion surgery usually cost and how long is the recovery time? I have a bunion on my left foot and also flat feet so I'm worried about how it might affect the healing process
Bunion surgery, or bunionectomy, can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ40,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000 in India, depending on factors like the surgeon's expertise and the hospital. Recovery typically involves avoiding full weight-bearing for 2-4 weeks, with gradual weight-bearing activities introduced as healing progresses.
