 Topic: Trimming Old Pfart Toenails
Posted: 06 Sep 2018 at 10:49am |
What do you guys use if your toenails got too honery to be trimmed with the toenail clipper. i tried one of those $16 side cutters but when you put enough pressure to take the bite of the nail off it feels like my toe got plugged into an electric light socket.  Maybe visit a farrier.

One of my BIGGEST problems is trying, with no luck, to just bend far enough to reach them!!! The hip, back, just don't move or bend like it was years back.

The back and the beer belly for me. On my two big toes, I have ingrown nails along the outer edges. They grow in then upwards. I'm usually bleeding by the time I finish, and if I don't do them they get painful and sometimes infected.

Part of my problem is my belly getting in the way but I have gotten rid of some of it if I can just keep it off. But the gravy biscuits, ham biscuits, etc. keep calling my name.

Naw,,,Dave,,,you ain't the only'ist one with the toenail problems,,,, Fact is,,I've had to go to the Dr for ingrown toenails 3 times in the last 10 years,,,, the ones on my big toes always want to grow down into the toe til you can't hardly put a sock on sometimes. Before they get too bad,,I'm goin to one of those pedicure shops and get em trimmed good,,!! The last dr I went to was so dang rough with them dang side cutter pliers since it wasn't hurtin him,,!!!

X2 and use a toenail clipper, it is little larger than a finger nail clipper.

My trouble is reaching them. I do believe there is a dermal type tool specially made for toenails. I do believe there are nursing services that do that too. Chaskaduo, be careful, infections on your toes can be very serious, especially on diabetics. Hmmmm Didn`t work for me.

I used to have horrible ingrown toe nails in my early teens. Learned to cut them out myself with the oversized finger nail clippers. Hurt like a b#tch and bled a lot and always had a hook growing out of the nail. Been staying on it since and haven't had a problem.

You guys are too explicit and give way too much info for me. Hope I miss the posts when you start relating your problems higher on the body.

If you have a serious problem I believe you can have the nail removed.
