I have just had the curly edges removed from the nail on my big toe, right foot. As he was doing the job the doctor "happened" to mention that it might be a bit painful for a while after the anaesthetic wore off and that he would give me some painkillers.

100 tabs of Co-codamol: 30 mg codeine, 500 mg paracetamol!!!

HOW painful is it going to be, and for HOW LONG?

just dont take them all at once

it seems a bit mad to give you all those tabs
when you cant buy more than 2 pkts of paracetamol at any one time
just dont bang your toe be brave

Firstly OUCH!!! I really hope it's not too painful

but heck that is one hell of a lot of medication

Don't worry Saundra, my toe is fast asleep in its tubigrip sleeping bag.

I did ask for a prescription of single malt spring water, but the doc said he could only justify that if the toe had to amputated.

arnt some drs mean

It's good of him though, the prescription costs the same however many tablets - I get my paracetamol 200 at a time
Hope it's not too painful (((x)))

Flippy neck That's half a pharmacy

Di is right though, it is a good thing

I amn't complaining, but I do wonder how painful it could get.......

Auntie Claire had hers done, way back, and was in hospital for a day, then bed rest for a couple more.

Mine was in the day clinic, bish-bosh, then out again - twenty mins max.

With that kind of pain relief, are you sure he didn't remove your foot at the ankle???????? All I was offered in hospital after my op was paracetemol

Osc.

I haven't looked, but as I haven't fallen over yet I am pretty sure the foot's still there.
