Martial Arts InjuriesDiscuss how to deal with martial arts injuries and illnesses here
Ow thats hurts. I know the feeling when you have to stop MA due to a injury. "Blacklion" had a ingrown toenail he hasn't been on the fourum for a little while, but last I heard from him was he went to go get it removed.

Just a warning: If it happens once, it's more likely to happen again, unless they removed the entire nail.
I'm guessing your doctor gave you some ideas of how to avoid it in the future, but I'll throw this out there anyway.
If you cut a "v" into the center of the toenail, it's less likely to push outwards or downwards. The "v" gives the nail space to grow without curling. Also, clip your nails regularly, this can keep your nails from having time to grow in.
Sucks when you're all fired up to train and one small part of your body stops everything. I jammed my middle fingers pretty bad last weekend and classes have been completly different for me. But at least I still get to attend to some extent. Have patience, and good luck.
If you were saying this in response to the broken ankle, that is a fallacy. People think this because the bone is larger after a break. However, the bone that replaces a break is also less dense, and therefore more easily broken. That's why the body builds it larger, to make up for the weaker bone.

It's not that big of a difference. That's why there's the extra bone built. The extra mass doesn't quite make up for the extra density, but it does work pretty well still. As long as you don't do things that are asking for a new collarbone break, it probably won't matter.
In grown toe nail :(

ouch!
