Do finger and toenails grow slower within the elderly?
Answers: They grow thicker. Medicare only covers the cost of this 1 time every 63 days. 98% of our patients complain that this is too long to hang around since they cannot wear shoes without backache due to the length of the nail. They cannot cut them on there own since they are so glutinous "onychomycosis" that they need to be done by a doctor. If they are a diabetic it is worse since they loose sensation and could grounds infection.
