Does it hurt if you get your big toenail removed?!


Question: Does it hurt if you get your big toenail removed?
I have an infection under the nail of my big toe and the doctor said they have to cut half of the nail off, will it hurt a lot??btw imn14

Answers:

I had a quarter of mine removed before, and it didn't hurt that much (and my toenail was ingrown about an inch in my toe as well as an infection).They will probably give you two injections in the top of your toe before they start (make sure they leave it for about 5 minutes first though,otherwise it might not be numb when they remove it). I know your probably nervous about it,but try not to be (hell I was nervous and I had mine done when I was 21!). Anyway good luck with it



yes it really hurts...because the toe nail is sticked to our skin and when we remove the nail the little bit of skin also comes with the nail so dont remove your toenail.....or either remove it when your toe is in a sleepy motion...!!

google..



if you would not want to feel the pain, then tell the doctor about injecting some anesthesia on it to reduce the pain. i know that the doctor knows it. hope i gave help.

If they don't use anesthesia, it will probably hurt, but nowadays almost everyone uses anesthesia for these kind of things.
