No my toe has been reset are you not following the thread

I was just wondering if the bit where your toe had gone the wrong way had changed any of your socks

I have no big toenails anymore because I used to get a lot of ingrown toenails when I was a kid, they cut them off and then did some kind of cauterisation of the nail-bed so it never grows back.

Pretty cool huh?

Yeah that makes sense, I don’t really care though or see the point

Please see a doctor about it. I’ve just managed to get my sister to go get hers sorted out. Gangrene is no fucking joke and ingrowing toenails can kill you. I’ve had serial issues with them in my younger years and like you I’d spend ages pretty much every day trying to clean them. 3 surgeries later, I still have my toenails but I’ve learned how to cut them to reduce pressure and the chance of it happening again - basically had to buy a fancy pedicure kit and cut and file the sides of the toenail very carefully every few months.

Good job, I did my small one a few years ago - proper right angle job. Having local anaesthetic injected into the fracture so that it could be straightened will stay with me for a long while yet.

Worst thing is that I’m a doctor, and have done a couple of A&E rotations, so knew exactly what was coming. The 2 hours of dread was almost as bad as kicking the wall in the first place. Unfortunately it was something that lived up to my expectations.

Still, got some lovely codeine out of it at least.

I did this a few years back and it is rubbish. For this reason, I didn’t unblur your picture, I know what it looks like and don’t wish to see it again. :slight_smile:

Hope you’re doing OK now!

Nitrous is freaking awesome for this - when I did my elbow (capitellum fracture, fact fans) it was dead straight and wouldn’t bend at all, but they had to get it up to a sling support position. Took two staff to wrench it up there, and I was just huffing away on the ol’ nitrous pipe. It was the single most painful thing that I’ve ever had done, but I only know it was painful because I could feel the waves of pain pulsing through my body like a beat but no actual pain. Magic stuff.
