Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 My GP did it. If I were that strong, I would have pulled my own teeth instead of paying a fortune to the Dentist. My great toe was abused for years from the steel toed shoes and boots I had to wear for work. I went to my GP to have it removed. He gave me a shot to numb it and waited a few minutes for it to take effect. It didn't, so he gave me another. It didn't work, either. Finally he talked to somebody that told him the shot had to be given underneath the toe. He did that and in a few minutes I was on my way and all was good. It healed quickly and it's not a problem 20 years later. It sounds extreme, but Lamasil is supposed to kill the fungus. What they don't advertise much is that it takes 10 months to see an improvement! The toe nail removal is complete in a few weeks and doesn't keep costing month after month. Dennis Re: [ ] Ew!
