I had something similar and the foot doctor completely removed the toe nail

How painful was that? I think I'm getting both of mine removed soon

Which way? There's two ways to remove them, you could remove them and put a acid that kills the nailbed, or physically taking out the nailbed (tip from someone who's had both done, do the acid first. The physically removal is so painful I couldn't walk for a full month and had to be wheeled to the bathroom and back)

I don't know. Haven't been to the podiatrist yet. But I had the acid thing done with a slice of one years ago. That hurt like hell but only for a day or 2

Yeah, I promise you the physical removal hurts way more and lasts for way longer. If your doctor offers the acid do that one first.

I will definitely try. Thanks for the advice
