so, the Dr. has prescribed an epsom soak 3 times a day for my toe, since it has gotten infected. The problem is it is excruciating...the pain is worse than anything I have experianced since the accident. Should it hurt that much and is there anything to ease the pain?

I have excema, which causes lots of dry skin and open sores. Every time I take a salt bath, it's agony. So I don't think there's anything you can do about it.

I had some ingrown toenails cut out once and had to take epsom soaks, and yeah, it hurt like hell. The pain receded as the cuts healed, so I don't know what to tell you but to let time take its course, and maybe some ibuprofen to ease the pain. Hope it gets better soon, the picture you posted was a doozy!!

Yup, I did it in the past. Most painful thing i've ever done, I think. I was kicked in the nuts twice in a row and I'd say the pain was comparable.

Just tough it out and swallow the pain
