Ingrown toenail removal surgery...?

I have an appt booked in march to have my toenail partially removed. I am aware of the procedure as i have been given leaflets by the podiatrist. The thing im most worried about is the injection to numb the toe... does this hurt? Also how much pain will i be in afterwards? I have booked the day off work plus the day after as well to rest, as i spend my shifts at work mostly 8 hours on my feet.

The injection is not very painful - like a jabbing pinch. It's no worse than any vaccination injection, and infinitely better than having the surgery without pain relief! It hurts enough to maybe make you wince for a moment, but the pain goes away after less than a second.





There will probably be some pain afterwards - I expect it will ache a bit for a few hours afterwards, and maybe be a little sore for a couple of days, but nothing agonising. If you do for some reason get bad pain, your doctor will be able to give you pain relief medication.





It's definitely smart to rest it rather than go to work. Your doctor might advise you to take more than a day off afterwards if you'll be spending 8 hours on your feet - I would think so but might be wrong, so definitely ask them.





Don't worry about it - doctor's do loads of these operations every year and it isn't a big deal. Really, really minor, and there won't be much pain at all. Certainly not for more than a few days.Ingrown toenail removal surgery...?
ASK THE DOCTOR TO PRENUMB BEFORE HE USES THE NEEDLE. AND IT WILL PROBABLY HURT A LITTLE WHEN IT STARTS TO COME BACK TO ITS FEELING,LIKE A TOOTH. BUT THE DOCTOR SHOULD GIVE YOU A PRESCRIPTION FOR PAIN PILLS AND AN ANTIBIOTIC. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER AFTER. GOOD LUCK
