Does an anesthesia injection hurt alot?
I'm thinking of getting my ingrown toe nail removed, and well if anybody has felt the injection before, would you describe the feeling? To know what I'm up against.
Cause I don't care about the procesure, I care about the injection whether it hurts alot or it dosen't that much, I'm getting to know this girl that she has gotten 7 injections (through time) and she describes the feeling that you toe will feel alot of pressure.
Anybody? o-o
I have had this done 3 times (nail grew back on one of the toes) The first 1-3 might hurt, depends where they do the first.
The last time I did it he started at the base of the toe, he was a little rough with the needle... After the first two it was more of pressure than pain. But, it felt really weird!!!! The weirdest part is when he had the needle in my toe and was spinning it around. Then there was the pulling on the toe, the nail did not want to come out. The laser flesh melting thing really made the room smell...
But, it is better to get it done with.. On two occasions I lived with it for over a year, sheets or simpily touching it was about 6-8 on the pain scale. It got to the point where I took a pair of cuticle trimmers and cut my toe open to dig the nail out (it was after doing that, I realized the doctor would be a better route).
If you are trimming your nail correctly and this still happens you might need to find wider shoes... I found a chart online and printed it off and I am supposed to wear 4E's (had a hell of a time finding any wide shoes in a local store; not a lot of "cooler" brands carry them either).
