    Can you please explain the process the doctor did to correct it? Everything online involved some surgery. Your comment made it look less painful.

      For me, they applied local anesthesia, grabbed the nail with some tool, then pulled it the fuck off. I don’t know if this is how it is always done, but this was a military doctor (I was a dependent).

          To make it better, I watched them do it. When applying anesthesia at one point I watched the doctor stick the needle into my toe and just spray it onto the floor because he went all the way through. I also had a trip to NYC a few days after, so I walked around there with a toe bleeding and wrapped in gauze. It was a memorable time.
