So i had this injury on my big toe from football, anyway, the lady came today to take a look and said "itll need more recovery in the summer when we operate, but for now i can remove a bit of the nail down the side. it wont hurt too much"
So basically, she cut my nail down toward the toe, like |-| if thats a toe, then down the | | not across the - like you would normally. So she could put in some silver nitrate, which "is gonna sting a bit"
Anyway, i was not lookin at the cutty, and was thinking, but didnt say "hm, this hurts a lot more than she said it would. ouch please." didnt say, lest i look like a big girl.
Afterwards she said "well, you were so good i went a little further, nearly as far as we will in the summer, but then you'll have anaesthetic"
Thatll teach me to stay quiet during pain >_>
then was the silver nitrate. it stung like salt in wounds should sting.
But afterwards i found I had a beer left. So that was good.

Sounds similar to what they do for ingrowing nails, which I've had done twice. Yay.
The first time, the doctor came in singing, stumbled over, then made a joke that he'd had too much to drink at lunch time but I have my doubts that he was joking. I remember posting this in the old PCGWLT, that must be about 5 years ago now o_O
Suffice to say it hurt. The second time was done because, shock horror, the first time didn't work, but it didn't hurt as much.

Ouch, sound painful.
When my foot was at its worst and the district nurses were changing the dressings every third day it always involved many tears and a good few minutes of me gritting my teeth and this was with me on the maximum allowed dosage of tramadol and diclofenac. Bad times.

I recall having my ingrowing toenails done (actually I was recovering from that operation I started talking on here, rather than uing the site for game walkthrouhs and cheats).
I can rememeber him sticking the needle in between my big toe and second toe and feeling what you would imagine a flaming arrow would feel like. I didn't flinch (big mistake) and the surgeon was saying "you're the first person never to have made a sound doing this - can you feel it?"
Yes. Yes I can feel it. The reason you didn't hear a sound is because I'm biting my lip as it hurts so much.
The thing was, he kept talkng about how good I was that he just left the needle in there. I think the thought that went through my mind when he said "are you ok?" was something along the line "yes I'm fine, I know what I'm going to be doing with that needle if you don't remove it in the next 5 seconds...and YOU aren't going to like it!"
But I'd go through that again no problem if it was that or an endoscopy :/

The same thing happened to me, when I put my foot where the ball was, as someone else back heeled it. I had a crack all the way down my big toe nail, that I decided to leave which proved a mistake, as playing basketball it got trodden on and became loose. I pulled it off revealing a toenail that had already grown half way up then inwards.
I bravely pulled (or more like cut) that off/out, then the next one grew three thirds of the way up before also becoming ingrown, so I trimmed it back and now it's more or less fine. I mean there is a slight curve at the top, but I avoided a trip to my patronising GP, and there's now no pain or blood.
