this stopped happening to me when i heard i shouldn't round the edges of the nail when cutting them

You see I have heard this multiple times and read it online too, nonetheless I had to ask my pedicurist to round my toenails, otherwise by next day it's in my flesh and hurts.

I try to even clip mine into a bit of a V (but very subtle; ~10°). Had a friend teach me that in college. It feels weird for a day or two but I haven't had ingrown nails since.

For me, the only thing that really fixed it was surgery :/

You're lucky, I've never done that and still get them.

For me it stopped when covid hit and I started working from home. I am barefoot 90% of the time.

My back pain has also gone since then.
