I'm so anxious. The needle hurt a hell of a lot last time (because toes have very little fat) but it'll be good to finally have a permanent solution to my toenails curling into the skin.

@KiwiDan I hope it doesn't happen to you!

@Poppies me too now!

@KiwiDan it was quite a while before the problem recurred

Good luck! I had that done on a toe many years ago. They gave me an IV to relax me, and I went to sleep. So I missed the whole procedure. Fine with me.

@exexec I just (literally a minute ago) had local anaesthesia injected into my toes. It hurt like hell

@KiwiDan Ouch!

KiwiDan · 31-35, M

@exexec that's an understatement!

Ask them for more anesthesia! Yes, there was the pain of the second needle. ;But the scalpel hurt a lot less!
If you were born with red in your hair you are likely to have more pain.

@Poppies They gave me more, and now it's done and I'm home.

@KiwiDan hopefully the surgeon is good.

KiwiDan · 31-35, M

@samueltyler2 she is so far. One out of 3 corners is done already

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@KiwiDan glad to hear.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

How are you today?

KiwiDan · 31-35, M

@samueltyler2 my toes are uncomfortable from the bandaging, but otherwise I'm doing well.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@KiwiDan great.

Good luck xx

KiwiDan · 31-35, M

@PatientlyWaiting25 Thanks. It went well and I'm home now

PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F

@KiwiDan I hope it heals quickly without issues. It will be worth it, no more ingrown nail and it's done now xx

KiwiDan · 31-35, M

@PatientlyWaiting25 Me too. I will have a follow-up appointment next week.
