What causes thick toenails?
No Thick Toenails, Keep Moving (2022)
all right so how long has it been do you think since you've had your nails trimmed
oh about three four months
i took a nail clipper from my clothes but i think
what you're seeing in this video is an older nail that probably had some trauma to it and
stopped growing and now the new one is growing in at the base and going in underneath the old nail
and it will start to push the old nail out kind of like a permanent tooth pushes out a baby tooth
i think we're going to send you home you know pound lighter or so
when we're done here excuse me i said i think we're going to send you home probably a pound
lighter okay when we're done here okay i've i've ruined many of socks with those toenails i bet
and that can't be comfortable in shoes at all
i asked my wife to do that she takes off running
i'm not gonna touch your feet many spouses will that's what you got me for
she's seen these sheets for eight years i know she's not afraid of her
she won't touch her
she's missing out on a very good thing you are very wonderful and this is this is a
winner this goes on a necklace do you want to keep it is it long enough is that long well
i don't have the necklace for it
say goodbye once and for all because you can come every month and you never have
to have nails like this long again i will goodbye
that one hit the wall
those are very brittle huh no they're not so bad no they're not really not they're
not bad they're just long and it's good that you haven't got a fungus in them so we've got this
the flip-flops so you can take your shower without getting an athlete's right yeah they did i had
that so bad when i was in high school playing sports the cracking and the tenderness and the
stores in between the toes yeah no fun no itches and burns and you can't wear cleats like that no
all right so i am just gonna get these are pretty thin i'm just gonna get an emery board and
is that your phone oh having your it
it's funny because the buzzing is on the other side of the room but you have an apple watch
i have a i a fitbit but my phone is over there
i can just tell when somebody's trying to get ahold of me
a little bit no you're fine over there
you guys really take care of us this is dr nail nipper yes you can go on youtube and
you can watch her i am going to watch it a lot of people watch her she's very popular
but she also has her own practice so she does doesn't do that full-time or anything
she does surgeries and all kinds of office visits etcetera
i make sure that i have the next ingrown total ingrown meal i have i'll come see you okay
that's the deal they snatched that toenail off of hcmc a couple of years ago and oh wow
took the whole thing off took the whole nail off must have been really infected it was
it's better now it looks perfect yeah your nails look good they really do
all right so if you wanted a wave to the camera and turn it around
hey guys wait let me i don't have your face yet okay i gotta go oh you take this one i gotta go
okay sure you can whatever you want whatever you're comfortable with
hi guys it's a wonderful feeling bye bye
hi it's dr sperling aka dr nail nipper you know i i get asked quite frequently
by people what kind of person is watching nail trimming and callus trimming videos
i have one friend who swears that every person watching has to have a foot fetish and i don't
think that could possibly be true looking at the feet that are on these videos but i talked
with the patient today about you know what would be the reasons for people wanting to watch this
kind of stuff and what it really boils down to is i was a teacher in my first career i love to teach
and the the comments i get back telling me that people have learned something from the video
are the most inspiring and give me the most gratification and i often say as soon
as i stop getting those comments then i'll stop doing this so it really is just about
educating showing people what can happen if you don't take care of a diabetic foot for example
and some of it is just for entertainment so i hope that explains some things and to my person
my friend who says everybody watching has a foot fetish i don't know what kind of
feet you think about but look at the feet on these videos and i think that would be pretty
it has been one heck of a week here in clinic
it has been super busy and right after i'm finished here i'm going to have to go run
up to the hospital i've got a patient up there we're trying to save her leg
from a diabetic wound but i thought i would take this opportunity to answer a question that came
up in the last video which is what is that noise every time you use a gauze and you get it wet so i
am going to show you what that is so i'm going to turn the camera around and uh why isn't it turning
okay i'm not going to turn the camera around but i will show you that this is the alcohol dispenser
and we keep the alcohol in here we can close this so it doesn't evaporate when we're not using it
but we open it and take the gauze and go like this and then the alcohol comes up through a suction in
there like a pump like you're priming a pump and then we can close it again when we're not using it
so i hope that explains it and now you'll know what we're doing every time you hear that
at the end of the video or when we're done with the appointment
and um everybody have a nice weekend and thanks for joining us for the video
you
