Hi there,
I have a relatively moderate case of RSD that lately had seemed to be gradually improving. Unfortunately I seem to have developed an ingrown toenail on the affected foot. Or at least I think that's what it is- its kind of weird. It bleeds a fair bit but it isn't infected or swollen and doesn't hurt that much. However, 1/3 of granulation tissue (which is supposed to form during wound healing, but can get out of control) has grown over the top of and also underneath the nail and that seems to be a major cause of the bleeding - some kind of RSD thing?

Anyway, I'm rather concerned about whatever treatments might be used, especially more invasive ones, and whether or not they might worsen the RSD. Do any of you have any experience with an ingrown toenail on an RSD-affected foot? What about local anesthetic?
