Toenail That Grew Up Not Out, MS Swelling Complication


In previous posts I have told of my strange toenail that grew up but not out after MS caused my feet to swell about 3 years ago. I saw several doctors including a "specialist" and got the same response: "I've never seen anything like it. It will eventually grow out." Sure. Well, that never happened and no amount of filing helped. FINALLY at a podiatry clinic at my new home a nurse FIXED MY TOE! Using 3 small tools and a file, 30 minutes and my toe is normal again, or will be after the healthy nail can now grow in. You just have to find the right person. "I see this all the time," she said. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!
After three days of applying an anti-bacterial ointment, I will apply Vick's Vaporub until my nail is good as new.
I asked nurse Diane (yes, Diane) how it works---she has no idea.
So to the Dr, who said it was not fungal---WRONG. To the $350 do-nothing/know-nothing "specialist" who said it was so strange---WRONG.
