    Ingrowing toenail removal tomorrow freaking out now feeling awful

    Hi there
    I am due to have an ingrowing toenail removed tomorrow and I have heard horror stories from friends about the injection. I am really freaking out I take diazepam regulary 3 times a week for 21 years 5mg. Right now I am feeling sick, heartburn, back ache, trembling hands cold sweats. 22 hours still to go. Anyone here had this done? Any idea how to relax because I cant go on like this.

    It's no different than a shot at the dentist. Just the initial stick and all will be fine

    Right! AND... just like the dentist, once the numbness kicks in, you won't feel a thing They'll give you some pain meds for later.
