Ingrowing Toe Nial
« on: 03 June 2008, 19:15:06 »
Well just had me right big toe nail removed after 9 years of suffering, anybody else had this done as i'm waiting for the anthestic to wear off before the pain sets in, any suggestions for pain except the obvious - getting blind drunk, which may be an option? :'(

 :o Yikes!....that must be agony!  :o

I had a horrible accident some years back and managed to sever (and subsequently have surgically re-attached) my right 'pinky' finger in some farm equipment; at the time the medics recommended keeping the sore-bit higher than the level of the heart to reduce throbbing and pain (it really helped too!): advice, which in your case would mean laying down with your foot up on a pair of pillows or somesuch.
You have my sympathy and `hope the analgesia is effective in controlling the pain until your foot heals.  ;)

I have had both my big toes done twice. The NHS seemed to cock it up a couple of times and was painfull for a good week after.
Had the last one done private and was walking around the next day with little pain ;)

A bloke at work managed something similar recently with a lathe. Lost 1 & half fingers, fore finger & half his middle, unfortunately his wouldn't re-attach.

and don't wait for the pain to kick in before downing the pills -- take them regularly ( per the instructions on the box) BEFORE the pain starts.

Four operations to save it and a week in hospital with a subsequent infection: I still have the finger but it`s stiff and so I often catch/bang it when working; at such times and in cold weather, the 'pinky' becomes incredibly-painful and often turns blue.  :'(

For me the worse part was trying to recover the finger from the bale-grab mechanism and then drive myself the 46 miles to the nearest hospital....having waited (fruitlessly and alone) over 60 minutes for a 'lost' ambulance......`sometimes rural-life sucks!

Are things likely to improve?

Yuk!
What were doing putting your finger in the bailing machine anyway? :-? As you obviously know, farming gear very rarely takes any prisioners. I bet you were just .......  ::)
