I know I'm not alone in finding it difficult to cut my toe nails.
I'm 85 with an arthritis which affects most of my joints including my spine and hands. I recently had a fall and fractured a vertebra which has not helped.
Ideally I would like to find a chiropodist or podiatrist who would undertake this chore for me but I have failed to find anyone who will do this. I have asked friends and tried yellow pages, AgeUK gave me a list of 3, but when I contacted them they all said they did not cut nails! (why?).
My GP cannot help.
I have some pretty hefty clippers from Amazon called "Dr Móde" and they are very sharp. Unfortunately I've nicked my toes a few times and made them bleed which doesn't seem the best way to go.
My diabetic husband sees someone at the hospital and they keep his nails short for him. She doesn't do this privately.
Can I buy some decent tools - preferable scissors, not clippers so I can keep my feet comfy?
Any hints and suggestions considered seriously.
