I had an ingrown toenail that was not getting better. I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and was going to get some supplies to do it myself when a buddy at work offered to help. Thank goodness he did.
I tell people that Lidocaine will feel like a bee sting, then things go numb. I am an idiot or a liar. I should tell them it feels like a thousand tiny chainsaws, that way they will be pleasantly surprised.
All Joking aside, it was not that bad, Clint did a great job. I would have had a really hard time doing it myself.

ReplyDeleteTry cutting a v/notch in the middle of your toe nail and it will help prevent an ingrown nail. At least I was told that once and it has worked for the past 10+ yrs.
