Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
yesterday around 330pm I got my finger stuck in machine at work and basically scraped the meat clean off the tendon at the last digit of my left middle finger half way towards the tip... needless to say I had to get stitches. one inside and 7 outside. it s been over 24 hours (around 30 hrs now)... the stuff that they deadened my finger is worn off but I am not in pain... all I feel is a bad throb like the end of my finger is going to explode.. I m freaking out cuz I thought I d be in serious pain. what should I do?
you must report for change of dressing as if there is infection, pus may form inside and give rise to pressure, throbbing pain and fever.If not, then collection of some serum inside should be squeezed out at dressing to ease tenseness of finger and reduce sweling
