    Woke up in pain Wednesday morning, looks to be an ingrown toenail. its quite sore at times. There is no pus, redness ar swelling so i dont think its infected.

    I'm just really scared to go Chiropodist. Its gonna hurt like a B***h..
    Can or Will the give anything to numb the toe first?

    Its depends on how bad it is and how far grown. A local anaesthetic and minor operation may be needed. This involves injection into the toe, maybe 2 and is the worst part. Local chiro generally won't do this if it has gone that far. They may be able to get at it without that surgery.

    Ouch! Have your doctor take a look at it, he will refer you to a Chiropodist if needs be, or he/she might be able to do something for you there and then.

    Poor you.:(
