Dilemma - Lemmy.World

Had really bad ingrown toenail that needed constant maintenance for decades.

Had a eureka moment and stuffed cotton wad under the nail corner that wants to unbirth itself.

Fucking miracle. Replace the tiny little bit of cotton and trim the nail every month, never another twinge of pain.

I did this for almost a year. Shoving the cotton in is excruciatingly painful. I said fuck it and went to a pediatrist. 20 minute procedure later and absolutely no pain
What did they do in the procedure? Both big toes have this issue. Maybe I’ll get a referral!

They had to put a needle in that area which …kinda hurt? Just felt like a small prick. Then afterwards I put in my airpods and let the doctor scrape away. Afterward, no more sensitivity and feeling like I’m going to go through the roof whenever I slightly bump or touch it. Make sure they put the chemical in the area that kills the root.

I first had this done by a hospital health system and they fucked it up and it came back. Went to a local independent 8 months later and it hasn’t grown back.

Well? How’s the cost?
Insurance covered it with it being considered an “office visit”
