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?

  Yikes!....that must be agony!  

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

Good luck!! O..... and somebody to wait in you hand and erm.... foot lol

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 .......
