As a youth, I always had a tendency to cut them too short so, as they grew, they would dig painfully into the corners.
Now, they are thick and tough and tend to curl under at the edges, giving an almost tubular appearance when viewed end-on.
As it is, with 37" legs (crotch to floor in bare feet) and very inflexible joints, I have great difficulty in managing them (legs and toenails :p). I have a phobia of allowing anyone to touch my feet (mum often used to catch the "tender bits"), even my partner.
Any advice on a solution?
Cutting them after a bath should be a bit easier, might soften them up a bit?

Yes, I tend to give my feet a good soak in a bowl of warm soapy water first, but more the issue is method.
Is there any way I can train them to grow flat?
Perhaps I should just bite-the-bullet and make an appointment with our chiropody clinic, but fore-warn of my fear. :033:

Hi,
I am currently working on a brand new television series for Channel 4 called ‘The Food Hospital’ (working title). The idea of the programme is to explore the possible health benefits of everyday foods in targeting a wide range of medical conditions and symptoms. I am hoping this will be of interest to you.
There’s plenty of evidence to say that our health and our diet are closely linked and current scientific research shows that certain foods can be used to treat some illnesses and / or their symptoms.
Patients attending ‘The Food Hospital’ will be advised by our team of medical professionals, including a GP, a specialist medical Consultant and a leading Dietitian. Using evidence-based, cutting-edge scientific research, the team will prescribe specific diets for the treatment of the patients’ conditions or symptoms.
The team will welcome patients with serious illnesses and everyday ailments alike. The treatment that the Food Hospital will offer is intended to be followed in conjunction with the patient’s existing medical regime, and the Food Hospital medical team will endeavour to work collaboratively with the patient’s current medical advisors.
We are currently looking to speak to people who might be interested in knowing more about ‘The Food Hospital’. This could be people who are living with a condition which affects their life, or people who have recently started to experience symptoms they wish to address.
