Good morning.After my tennis game and then an appointment with my podiatrist.I had a bit of surgery on my big toe.He removed the nail and destroy the nail bed.I had the other one done.Now I guess I am pretty balanceHave to stay off my feet and soak every day. Remove nail is not bad as you think.They do a good job.Give you Novocain Then wait till it get numb.Then he pull the nail off.The nail at that time is sort of liquid. Photo is mine.That is my foot there. Have a good day any plan

Did it hurt and does the nail protect your toes.

Keeping those toes in good shape can sound painful, but it sure helps with walking etc.

Does the nail actually go like liquid then? I want to tell a Friend that as she is petrified of having hers taken off too. Maybe it might help her if I told her that. Thank you for the information on that. Just the thought of it puts me off too but I am okay in that sense.

Reading it makes me terrified of taking out the nails. But I guess it is better for you if you have pain on it. But why it has been taken out?
