Went to GP yesterday - problem with the nail on my big toe!! When I was three years old I had to have all my toenails removed - don't ask why, have no idea!!! but I do remember it :-(

Well they all grew back fine except for the one on my right big toe which is now causing problems - GP took one look and said it'll have to come off so has sent a referral off to the hospital :-(

OUCH!!!! :-0

that's what I'm thinking!!!!

That must be worth a box of chocs. a bunch of flowers etc. etc.

your nail has to come off ,or your toe lol? :-D

That's not something to look forward to Ann, hope it goes ok and the nail grows back properly. Have you someone to look after you when you need the tlc?

Big bunch of flowers for you and as much sympathy as you need :-D
Good luck. Take extra care afterwards and keep foot up as much as possible.
Had my big toenail off 2 years ago :-( :-( It was necessary but not something I want to do again.

Oooh Ann, sending lots of (((((hugs))))) and sympathy. I have a lot of problems with my toe nails and go to have them sorted every 8 weeks. For such small thigs they can cause a lot of pain so I hope the op will solve your problem.

well that's nice to wake up to all these lovely messages - I feel better already!!! I wonder if it will grow back? or will they take the nail bed off too?

aw dont worry if it will grow back, just keep ya socks on ;-)

I had to have both my big toe nails off a few years ago, they also killed the nail bed to stop it regrowing, been great no pain now the nails are gone. My grandson has obviously inherited my prob and had to have his removed but they did not kill the nail bed, he still has problems and is due to go and have it removed again and the nail bed killed.It is not as bad as it sounds I wore sandalls until they had healed, went to Spain and the sun healed them fast. So when you have to go to have it removed, book a sunny holiday and make it worth it. Elaine. ;-)

ouch ,lordy lordy,,,,,,,sympathy,,,,,,mind if you get it done when the weather has got much better you can wear sandles to let the air heal it,,

just a word of caution........


*steer clear of anyone with clown feet as they will step on it no matter where you stand.....* ;-) :-D

wondering - will it be local anaesthetic or general? anyone know?

If they don't remove the nail bed I would imagine it would grow back.
