One of mine came out during the chicago marathon, It was hot and it sucked running on blood soaked feet. I’m going to do a 50 mile in april, so it’s probably going to happen again… 
I broke my back skiing nine years ago.
I have a lot of paralysis in my lower legs, hips and glutes (~95%, 85%, & 65%), also some in my hamstrings, lower back, hip flexors, and lower abs. And my digestion is totally screwed up (I have to take laxatives daily and have little bowel control 
)
This didn’t stop me from learning to ride and doing muni 
It took me two months to learn the basics, 6 mo. to commute and almost 2 yrs to Muni. I still can’t freemount at all or hop well enough to be any use. But I can do a bit of SIF and occationally ride SIB and backwards.
W/o my AFO’s (see avatar), learning may have not been possible.
Today is the day…wish me luck so i dont act like a pussy.hehe
Good luck. Hope all goes well. Don’t pussy out and run off screaming like a little girl in front of the Docs!
Kind of makes an ingrown toe nail seem like a good deal. My hat is off to you for your diligence. Keep up the great work.
haha ill try.
Best of luck.
If its like an ingrowing toe nail could you please post pics or email them to m_collings@hotmail.co.uk I have had real problems with my toe and have been very close to having the nail removed. Are you having your nail removed as in it doesnt grow back? At the moment my toe is realy bad and just the other day I was reconsidering having it removed. If you could send me some pics so I can see how bad yours was before you turned to surgery that would be cool.
Good luck, hope it goes well.
I feel your pain brother, when they removed my first ingrown toenail the doctors aid, or whatever, stuck the needle right into the inflamed part, It hurt so frikkin bad I passed out. Two doctors and three surgeries later I went to a podiatrist whom burned the nerve with acid so my toenail wouldn’t grow back. Now my other toe is ingrown 
Anyway good luck and heres hoping for a speedy recovery.
WHEW!!! thank u guys sooo much.
this is something you DONT want done…
hurt sooooo bad…
ah man.
the doc said it was the worst he had ever seen in his entire career.
they shot me up 4 times…
and cut about an inch of nail off.(about 3/4 of that was insade my skin…)
yea…
i got pics coming.
seriously. hurt.
but after the 4th shot, you dont feel a thing…
and now i get codine.

I think the lesson here is not not pick your toe nails, yes? (well that’s how my toes used to get so manky and infected…)
