Hammer Toe!!!!



For all you lovely runners out there that have experienced "hammer toe," then here is one of my more painful ones.  My big toe I guess just isn't supposed to have a nail on it because every time I get it grown out after losing it, I just beat the heck out of it again and this is what happens.  This one was a bit tougher because the top part of the nail was still alive and I couldn't get a pin under the nail to pop the blister and relieve the pressure.  So what's my solution???






Yep, you guessed it. . .I got out my drill and got a few "blow holes" to get some junk out.  It was slow going, but I was able to get it done without completely drilling through my toe











Success!!!!!!






I know you're all really impressed and are going to run home and try this for yourselves!  Sorry for all those that are completely grossed out now!!!!

Try SmartToes Toe Stretchers, I tried a number of products for hammer toe relief, and this one is by far the most effective. SmartToes is great for hammer toe treatment and bunion treatment.
