Hey. I had previously posted here before about unidentifiable muscular pain and how it had been impacting my physical health. I believe this now to have been related to stress and mental health, both of which are no longer significant issues.
A new issue has arisen for me. I currently have ingrown toenails on both feet, and this has been the case for roughly about three months. Treatment has been a drawn out process. I've had a long exam period (which has now finished) which has meant I've had to delay surgery and subsist on completely ineffectual anti-inflammatories.
As I've now I'm in rather awful pain, and movement is difficult - this has ultimately caused me to quit exercise entirely. To tell you the truth, I've been a good weight and a reasonbly fit and healthy person for most of my life, but I'm concerned about my weight now as I've been relatively inactive for a while. When I do get surgery, in about 15 days. I fear the recovery process is going to put me out for even longer and mean exercise, even basic movement, is going to be become an absolute impossibility.
Y'know, what, exactly, can I do in the way of exercise if I can't even move for my injury? I'm not at all overweight, but I'm worried that I won't be able to keep my health in check under such conditions. I mean, I can't even take even take vitamin supplements, as most are Vitamin-A based and apparently it will aggravate my problem if I get too much of it. Can you help at all?
Sorry if this is a less than straightforward request, I don't mean to be awkward.
Don't overthink this.
Fixing ingrown toe-nails is actually not a very hard process. Recovery time is about 24-48 hours, and not being able to do exercise is probably about 7-10 days.
After that you should be good to go, just wear better shoes (better yet, no shoes at all) when you train.
