Help? Had the removal of big toe about 5 weeks ago. Went in on three week aftercare visit .Doc said it looked good. Just soak it once a day in salt and wear the surgical tube bandage. I take good care of it. Problem is it is so painful yet?Burns and I think it now includes my toe beside the big one. I already had a pitch nerve  on the next toe beside the big toe I had the nail removed,which the doc knew about.. I did have that toe injected a while back .When I came in to the doc I had already been there three other times for fungus and partical removal. Did this flair up the nerve too? How long will the burning and drainage be?
HiT hanks for posting on ChatDoctorSoreness at site of toe removal and next toe is common after such a surgical intervention as a result of damage to nerve endings. Pain at the site too is normal and will regress progressively as the wound completely heals. The pain however should be controllable with pain medications like ibuprofen. A toe infection by bacteria or fungi may also give such symptoms but less like in your case since no other associated symptoms have yet been noticed. I will suggest you continue with soaking the site in salt water, maintain good hygiene, avoid traumatizing the toe and take pain medications like ibuprofen. Hope my answer will help you Best regards
