Spain Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Anyone ever had surgery on their hand (or is a doctor)? I severed the tendons in my finger 3 weeks ago and had emergency surgery to peel and repair them the next day. I've had my cast off for over a week and I'm doing my physio while still in the splint. But when is all this swelling going to go? I also have a slightly less pleasant question, but I've got a thin flap of dead skin from the peel & stitch. Should I just cut it off or wait for it to fall off itself? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That flap of dead skin is just the beginning, the rest of your hand will soon follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That flap of dead skin is just the beginning, the rest of your hand will soon follow. I concur with this prognosis and suggest you also have a foot amputated as a precaution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thanks guys. Am I best to go to the hospital or just amputate them myself? I have kitchen knives and a hedge trimmer if that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop wanking so much (or at least change hands) and eat the flat of flesh (don't toast it if you're having it with soup though). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Didn't know pot noodles still existed - thought they were pretty exotic as a youngster and would have them for lunch at high school from some corner shop (Beef & Tomato or some green pot that was allegedly chicken and mushroom). Recently rediscovered Super Noodles though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
