The doc told you to drill the hole?

No!

Sorry if the OP was unclear; I just edited it. He said to bring her in so he could do it.

Oh, then disregard my answers. The hot needle is the trick though, assuming you'd be doing it on someone who wasn't 4 years of age.

I had this done by a doctor once. All they do is use a device that burns a tiny hole. It's totally painless and once the hole is made, blood spurts out relieving the pressure.

2) an alternative would be to heat up a needle red hot and use that.

I am not even sure that the doctor meant literally drilling a hole. This seems so obviously the correct answer.

Btw it rocks seeing someone do this to their own toe. haha

You've seen someone do it?

I've had it done before. I was in maybe 6th grade when my sister accidentally caused a metal stocking holder to fall on my toe from the fireplace still. The thing was maybe 10 pounds, and my toe was really f*cked up.

My doctor used a laser type of device to create a small hole to relieve the pressure. I was a bit scared at first, but the actual laser did not reallly hurt. It was short and mostly painless.

I once cut through my finger nail at the age of 6 with a scissor, I was in a lot of pain and it was bleeding like hell. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yeah I was on a ski/snowboard trip with my church and my like room leader was a super kick ass skier and he would get stuff like this all the time and so he just popped open this portable stove he had, heated up a needle and drained it out.

ok. I could easily see me doing this to myself, but if it was my little girl, I'd want a doctor.

It sounds like they have lasers now. But when I had it done a while back it was a drill. Much like the saws they use to cut a cast off your arm. The doc demonstrated with the drill that as soon as it hits tissue that gives it stops. He touched the moving drill bit to his open hand and it stopped before chewing up the skin.

So yeah, I'd recommend a doctor do this regardless of the tool he chooses.

Re: Drilling a hole in daughter\'s toenail
 

I messed up my finger many years ago when I worked on the boats. The pressure was like the most insane migraine you could imagine but concentrated in the finger. The boat I was on at the time was docked in Sault Ste Marie and was leaving in less than 2 hours. I was positive I could not handle the pain if it was going to last more than another day.

I hopped in a cab and went to the hospital emergency. I didn't have time to sit around all day so I told the nurse I did not care if I saw a doctor, a nurse, or the cleaning lady, just do something about the finger.

So the nurse herself heated up a needle and it like instamelted throught the fingernail. The pressure being relieved was as good as a lot of orgasms I've had.

Few days later the nail fell off.
