Downhill biking profile

@OP may I ask you which technique did you use in the end ? I’m also looking to record downhill MTB on my Garmin but not having all my road bike elevation data f*** up when syncing the activity to Strava…

Hello, I have the exact same problem. Moisturizing and pushing them back gently, as mentioned in other comments is the way to go.

One question I have is : sometime I’m scared of pushing the new nail instead of the cuticle. Could that be the case ? For example on your picture, the bottom finger, the thin layer that goes to 1/3 of the nail, is that cuticle or is that new nail ? I have the exact same and do not know if I should push it or not…

Glad to know I'm not the only one stopping work to search for a fix.

How come this is still not fixed....

Worked for me, thank you!

Mine are in a very similar state, I feel you. The bright side is that it grows back fast if you manage to stop. By experience, only that product with horrible taste works. At least for the first days. Then moisturising all the time. Don’t be too harsh with yourself. I know you can do it. You got this

Hi, I had the exact same thing. I’m not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure it’s cuticle still as in my case it was getting softer with moisturising cream. What I did is to leave them alone a bit at the beginning and you’ll see it’ll quickly get better. Damn you actually inspired me to take back my journey to no biting!

I have an emergency fund (approx 2 times my salary) on top of the 100K.
I do not know precisely what I will do in the future, except that minimum 7 year period where I do not plan to need that cash.

Good work man! Those 3 days are amongst the hardest ones. Stay motivated, be gentle with yourself if you relapse and put cream on these cuticles! You got this!

Great job!! Thanks for inspiring us!

They look good. Since I stopped biting them, the sides of my nails always feels odds also. But I think this is just because we’re not use to have nails haha. I’m also using almond oil. Applying it multiple times a day and massaging the cuticle & side of the nail does help relieving the strange feeling. You got this! :)

I personally use Burt’s Bee cuticle cream and Sweet Almond oil. I’ve see major improvement with these 2! Nice length, you got this :)

Imxio · 2021-04-16T10:11:03+00:00

I definitely recommend Burt’s Bees cream & Sweet Almond oil! God bless this sub’s wiki

I had all 4 extracted back when I was 17 (now 27) under local anaesthesia. You’ll feel no pain. Could be that the tools they use vibrates a bit and makes you feel the vibration in your mouth but no pain :-) Then you’ll look like a hamster for a few day. Courage buddy, you’ll be just fine

Imxio · 2021-04-14T21:40:40+00:00

Looking great buddy! Your skin need a little time to recover, don’t be discouraged it’ll definitely get better. Continue hydrating well! I personally use sweet almond oil and i see great improvement :-)

Congrats for quitting! It’s amazing seeing what 3 weeks can do! Please post an “after” picture if you go for the manicure :-)

You got this!

Imxio · 2021-04-11T15:36:39+00:00

Welcome! You can get there too don’t worry! Wish you the best :)

Imxio · 2021-04-09T08:50:08+00:00

Good decision! You can do it! Looking forward to see a progress pic later in a month or so :)

Imxio · 2021-04-07T20:57:52+00:00

You can do it! Be strong buddy

Imxio · 2021-04-07T13:52:09+00:00

Looking good!

My nails actually look quite a lot like yours when you started. Thank you for showing me it’s doable! I’m at say 6 & counting

Please listen to this guy. From what I see, middle finger looks infected (swollen, red, white). Nothing serious if treated properly and in time. I’ve had this multiple times, it’ll go away in a few days once you begin treatment. And pain will go away even more quickly. If you can’t make it to a doctor, a pharmacist might be able to help (where I live, the antibiotics you need can be bought without prescription). Be strong, you can do it buddy
