(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Yep, I woke up to my mother asking me if I wanted to have my ingrown toenail removed today at 2:30, so I said yes.

Background info: I suffer from ingrown toenails quite often. I get anywhere from 2-3 a month it seems....always on my big toes. I always cut them out myself with a pocket knife and then bandage them up with some antibiodic gel. However, this time was different...I tried to cut the ingrown toenail out but it hurt extremely bad this time (yes, it hurts cutting them out, but not as bad as it did this time.)

Anyways, I went to the doctors and this is how it went down:
-Sprayed with some type of ethyl to freeze the spots they were going to inject the needles
-Injected with a needle a total of 6 times. (yes, they inject it in one area at a time and they twist the needle sideways while it's injecting anesthetic to fully succumb the feeling in the toe.)
-Let me sit for a couple of minutes
-Moved me to a different room
-Cleaned my foot with betadine and a sponge
-Doctor starts digging the toenail out of the skin
-I feel a pretty bad pain at this point, so I tell the doctor and he injects me 6 more times.
-Within a minute of injecting me for the last time, he starts clipping my toenail to remove the sides of it
-No pain at all
-Removes both sides of the toenail
-Takes a paper towel, soakes it in phenol (an acid to kill the root of the nail so that it doesn't grow back in that area), and dabs it on both sides of my toenail.
-Wraps up toe and let it sit
-Bandage fills up with blood, so the nurse changes it out and watches me for another 10 minutes to make sure the bleeding has stopped
-Bleeding stops and she bandages me up fully this time and I leave

TLR: After struggling with ingrown toenails for years, I finally had them surgically removed for good this time.

Here's some pictures (Yes, there is blood, so if you don't want to see blood, don't look....)

Yeah, it still came back after a few months, and worse this time. I'm having the surgery again in a month or two.

Rough man

very painful

Dang man, I feel sorry for you! I really hope that mine doesn't do that..

Graphic man , Looks like it hurt,glad you decided to get it taken care of for good . iv went through a few surgeries in the past also, Hernia , appendicitis and im only 26 ... you know what they say what done kill you makes you stronger Get well soon

Just look at that and can't understand how it happens.

I feel bad for you bro.....those toes are gross.
On a serious note the only thing that has ever happened to my toe was getting watermelon shell/skin stuck into it, one out my blood flowed like a river. Hope you fully recover!

I remember when I had surgery they had to put me under general anaesthetic and when I came round they said they had never had to use so much for one patient, normally people are under before they can count to 5 and I remember getting to my 40's lol
