Not gonna ride for a week at least

I had surgery on my toe today. I had an ingrown toenail on both sides of the toe so i went in and the doctor killed the sides and clipped the nail. Then the nail grew out AND DOWN!!! So i went back in and he clipped it again. Same result, except this time i tried to let nature heal itself and the nail was really close to breaking on through to the other side (mind the doors referance). Well the doctor said that it was so infected that I'm lucky it didn't infect the bone, and he said that it was so deep he couldn't believe that i dealt with that much pain. He also didn't believe me that my toe wasn't numb, and he gave me 8 shots. My toe was swollen at least twice the normal level and he said he couldn't get anymore numbing agent in. It hurt quite a bit! Doctor said i can be riding again in a week BUT according to the weather, i wont be for at least awhile longer. My nail wont be growing back anytime soon, and hopefully not at all. I went in there with him thinking i was a wuss, and left with him saying i had one of the worst ingrown he'd ever seen. And he's a foot specialist!

Had it happen to me about 3 years ago on both big toes. After 2 tries at clipping doctor went in and removed ALL of the nails completely so they would not grow back. Needless to say no more problems. And those shots in the toes really hurt don't they?

You woos:stickpoke: had the same thing done and climbed on my bike and rode 75 miles home in winter. did fill my painpills before i made it out of town.

 

We won't talk about my actions after I got home, but it wasn't pretty.:bang head:

Yeah, those shots arent the best! It's still worse when he starts clipping into un numbed territory
