Question:
What's it like to have a toenail removed?
How badly does it hurt, do they take the whole nail off, and can people with their toenail removed swim and do other physical activities?
Answers:
Having a toenail removed can be somewhat uncomfortable, but a mild pain killer will take care of the discomfort and it won't last long. The important thing is to keep the nail bed protected until it's healed in order to prevent infection. Now that is painful. Follow doctor's orders and advice carefully. The discomfort of having a nail removed is, in my opinion, far less painful than a bad tooth.
