Hard to cut toenails

Flippinheck

I can still reach my toenails. My problem is that I can’t see them clearly enough to know whether I am cutting the nail or slicing into my toes. Time to visit a podiatrist?

Me too!

I pay a podiatrist to cut my nails. I can still reach them but they are very thick and hard to cut. Arthritis in my hands and worsening eye sight makes it impossible.

I said to my family,my arms seem to have shrunk cos I can't cut my toenails

I am quite flexible and can easily reach my toes but I prefer to use an electric foot file.

It gives a very good finish and smooth skin, without any cutting or snipping.

This is the one I bought www.beurer.com/uk/p/57400/

Please spend and visit the local chiropodist/podiatrist. They cost little more than beauty parlours but are so much healthier and will advise when you have a fungal infection which is so very common and can spread to your finger nails so easily without you realising you have a problem.

It costs £65 to have your toe nails cut where I live. I can neither reach nor see to do it so it gets done at very long intervals when my daughter visits.
The NHS no longer does anything which is not actually life-threatening.b

I used to have to pay £55 to have my nails cut. Added to that was an hours round trip, petrol and parking fees .
He was nice but kept increasing the cost, as he has put his 11 year old into a fee paying school.
I have just got back from my new podiatrist. Five minutes drive, free parking and the charge was £26. Less than half the price I have paid for the past 10 years.
Money well spent.
It’s really worth looking around.

Dr Scholls nail revitaliser applied every single day morning and evening eventually deals with this as new nail grows. Twice daily every day is vital though. It takes at least 3 -6 months but it does work. In the meantime the Emery boards helps.
