I understand what you are saying. I had my toenail removed, and I found that the pain was worse before, I could not get my shoe on. Then I made up my mind to have it done, and simply did not look at the Dr or the needle, with eyes closed I said a prayer silently, and before I knew it it was done.Once I stoped focusing on the fear and the pain, all went well. I have a new toenail now.

After the surgery, be sure to cut your toenails straight across with a small V cut in the middle of them so they will grow towards the V and not into the toe. I had a severe ingrown toenail one time and I soaked it in fairly hot water with Epsom salts for about 1/2 hour. Then I was able to move the toenail enough to let the pus underneath come out. Then I soaked it again and it was fine after that.

being a nurse, and having helped with this procedure many times...I can tell you it hurts me to watch it!!! I find that not looking, finding a focal point and going OW-OW-OW-OW-OW...until it stops hurting always helps me. Don't actually shout, just sort of say ow like a mantra. Then the medicine kicks in and it's relatively smooth sailing.
