I have an ingrown toenail. I play Australia football which involves ALOT of kicking the ball with your foot. (the ball is similar to a rugby ball). I have a bad ingrown toenail with both sides infected. I have taken my drs advice by taking care of them i bathe them in salt, put betadine on it and i file the top of the toe.

But on training and match days it can be pretty painful. Is there anything i can get to numb the toe or to get rid of the pain. At the moment i am on Panadol, lol.

I'm also taking antibiotics for the time being
 
i think that you're doing all that you can do. if neccesary, your doctor can actually remove your toe nail -- painful for a few minutes, but the pain isnt even as bad as an ingrown toenail..maybe just try to take asprin before practice...or maybe you might want to take a few weeks off?
