I guess as we old farts get older, our toenails get funky. I've developed horrible pain on the end and side of my one big toe. It's excruciatingly painful. DH tried to cut into the corner of the nail, and I just couldn't stand it.
I've been soaking the foot in epsom salt and really hot water several times a day for awhile and putting on a bandaid with antibiotic ointment, but there's no change whatsoever.
I don't think it's gout, but my uric acid has always been a little high.
I guess the only answer is a podiatrist who will cut that side of the nail out (with anesthetic, first!)
Anyone have some home remedies that might help this without "surgery"?
Yep, I've got old fart feet now.
