Me, neither. It was amazing how painful that toe joint was. It was like someone stabbing it with a red-hot knife. For such a small part, it sure was debilitating....
FWIW, the guy that did it was a sports/athlete foot specialist, and he had pretty much perfected the procedure before I came along. Most doctors will tell you to just live with it...... this guy fixed it, and he waiting room reflected his success at making foot issues disappear. The icing on the cake was that his office and home hospital just happened to be 5-10 minutes away from me.
