Have you taken your complaint to a physician or podiatrist? There may be something that can be done that's not as severe.

The #1 directive for all physicians is to do no harm, so I doubt that you'll find a bona fide surgeon who will just do it on your say-so. If you're diagnosed with a legitimate condition where amputation is the indicated treatment, then you might get your wish. But I think they'll want to try other therapies first.

well, I don't see how a procedure other than removal could stop the toe from interfering in everyday life. like things falling on it. or getting slammed into by things. no toe, no pain.

what condition would require removal of said toe, and how do I go about acquiring it?

You could kick you bed post really hard...

But think about it: how often do you drop something on your foot that hits only your pinkie toe. Like if you drop a book on your foot, it'd be pretty hard to miss all of your foot except for the pinkie toe.

Stop doing drugs fool.

Go to a doctor and find out.

i think your pinkie toe has more importance then you realize. it helps you keep your balance, you'd be off for awhile if you off-ed, don't get me wrong it's possible, just be ready to wobble around for awhile you sick fuck :fawk:
