Potential Surgery

I had 1 big toe nail pulled an worked next day driving an wore a pair of steel toe boots before to be sure toe did not rub inside boot, a big 3by 5in band/aid will keep it clean.

 

You want it to get as much air as possible, so just put the boots on when you get out of the truck at your customer. No reason you can't switch to an open toed shoe when you are driving.

 

that's me in October. first doctor gave me untebiotics to take for 10 days and it didn't help and I waited too long and than had to remove it. if you go to a good toe specialist youll be able to work next day

 

If I were you I would go to see a specialist. Someone who specializes in feet, hands etc. don't waste your time with a doc who thinks that giving you a drug antobiotic is the ultimate solution.
He should have referred you to a specialist at the very least.
You need to find the root cause of your dilemma.
Then you can make a decision about what's to best way to clear up your problem.
Good luck

 

I would do what the doctor suggests on healing and I wouldn't tell your boss.

And by the way, I threw up a little in my mouth. Thanks for the pics!

 

I had ingrown nails so bad the podiatrist said I was weeks away from losing my toes.

 

You cant wear open-toed shoes whil driving. If you get the wrong DOT officer that could be a ticket.

Granted, sometimes I get a bad itch on my foot and I'll drive barefoot for a bit. [emoji14]
