so, i had a bad ingrown toenail that got infected on both sides. i went to the doctor for it earlier today and he removed the full nail, a granuloma, and put a drain in. eight hours later, im in the worst pain ever. excruciating pain and crying. is it supposed to hurt this bad? i can’t even place my foot on the ground. i may actually be dying. my pain also bumped up even more because my dad accidentally smacked it with his hand right on the top where the nail should have been. if it’s relevant at all i bled a ton during the procedure, like dripping to the floor off the table.

Is anyone else really prone to ear/respiratory/sinus infections? I seem to constantly be fighting one if not all three at once and keep getting really bad ear infections. Is this an mcas thing? Is my body just a piece of crap? (Probably yes to the body one tbh) I’m so sick of it and am searching for reasons. I’ve been diagnosed with MCAS, POTS, MECFS, HEDS, and CIRS. I never can fight the infections on my own either, they always drag out where I need at least one (but often more than one) round of antibiotics to kick it. I have yet another terrible ear infection (excruciating pain where i can’t sleep, a headache and swollen lymph nodes on that side, and bloody mucus from that side’s nostril) and I just wanna know if anyone else struggles with this too. Thanks in advance <3
