My finger is being an annoying piece of shit tonight right at the location of the stitches. I’m guessing it’s the skin going thru the healing-sealing up process, but I’d sure like for it to stop sending sharp stabs of pain. 😣
@see_the_sus ah yes the regeneration of the nerve phase....good and bad....if you're able to get to a cvs or Walgreens and head to the first aid aisle, look for the "-caine" family. My personal favorite is active ingredient benzocaine, usually sold as like boil salve or something. Don't put on open areas but you can put close too and it should help numb those nerve endings for awhile.
The post-op instructions said no ointments but I’ll re-read them. Thanks!
@see_the_sus yeah I saw that in your comments. They usually don't want ointments on there, correct, but, you can do a little away from the site, not directly on. The benzocaine seems to do a decent job of just dulling the pain if it's in proximity to the injury.
Okedokey, thanks! I’ll get some tomorrow.
