The full roaster was telling me that he has the chiropodist on Wednesday… to pull out both his big toenails as they are ‘dead’. He says that he used to do them himself when they ‘died’, with a pair of pliers. Nowadays his knee doesn’t bend so well so he needs to get someone else to do it. Apparently it doesn’t hurt too much if they are ‘dead’ and then they grow back.
Had issues with my big toe nail being ingrowing for years. So every now and then need to cut the side with nail scissors and then use tweezers to pull out the nail. Did this on the weekend as was really painful and there was a large flow of blood from the pressure that had built up. Feels amazing now though*
*no excruciating pain
Have a great day!
There are pills you can get from your GP but they affect your sense of taste for some reason so some people choose to keep the fungal toenails instead. (I’m speaking from an anecdote that I didn’t really need to hear rather than personal experience.)
my friend once “hooked up” with a girl we both knew (and was lovely) - after the “hook up” he realised his toenail had fallen off in her bed. I don’t think either of us have seen her since.
In the end the chiropodist did not pull them out but cut them to where they disappear from vision and then sanded them or something. The remainder will fall out soon. £32
