Default Chiropody and Dentistry

Ali's mum here - wanting advice yet again on a couple of things

Firstly, Ali has a really nasty ingrowing toenail on the big toe of her RSD leg / foot
I have tried to cut the nails as best I can with a pair of professional nail clippers but the nail is far too deep to do anything with myself
The problems is that you can only touch Alis foot on the ends of the toes or from about 3 inches above the ankle joint on her leg. Everywhere else is so hypersensitive that she screams so anything like this has to be done in stages
I really need for her to see a chiropodist but have no idea how they would do the necessary work to remove the ingrowing toenail without causing her real distress.
Has anyone had experience of chirpody on a RSD affected limb - should we be discussing this with the hospital - would she need sedation etc...

Secondly, we have had to change Ali's dentist as her old one was on a 1 in 3 hill with nowhere to park outside so getting the wheelchair there would have been a feat in itself. This one has better facilites for the wheelchair so should not be a problem
Recently Ali has suffered quite a few chipped teeth so will need a fair bit of work - what should we be recommending to the dentist about do's and don'ts for RSD patients - I don't want to take any risks if you know what I mean....

Thanks again
Love
Andrea
