This is a continuation so we can discuss my gross thumb. If you want to flame, go elsewhere.
Worst labor day weekend EVER.
Story time... goes back
to last week. I got a blister on my thumb from drumming, not a big
deal. I popped it, it healed fairly well. This was maybe tuesday when
it was healed.
Now thursday. It started to turn a little red,
okay i thought. I went on with my day as normal. Even went to basebal
practice and did everything i normally do without pain. Next day, a bit
bigger, more paingful swelling of the thumb. Told my coach i couldn't
even hold a ball. THen it just kept getting worse. My girlfriend came
over friday night, and just in the few hours she was over it got even
bigger.
Saturday morning. A tad bigger. Pretty painful now.
Went to the USC game, all was well. It hurt at times, but was pretty
tolerable.
Sunday, things got bad. Woke up in the morning , my
thumb now 4 times it's normal size. EXTREMELY painful. I'm talking the
worst pain I can ever remember experiencing. Told my work i couldnt
come in, and went to an emergency clinic. He gave me some anti biotics.
That ngiht it doubled in size. Worst pain of my life.
My mom
drove me to the e.r., the put me on some i.v. antibiotic, and stuck a
huge ass needle in my thumb. Nothing came out. Nothing. I still can't
believe nothing came out with my thumb this big.
Left the e.r.
at 4 in the mornhing, they told me to come back today. I did, we went
through the same stuff. I threw up when i got to the e.r. We switched
anti biotics and now instead of taking tylenol + codeine for pain, i
got vicodin.
Tomorrow i have to go see my doctor, and then he's gonna send me to a hand surgeon , whos gonna tear the thing open.
Excuse me if this post is long or confusing, vicodin is doing me well.
Forgot to add, it's cellulits, maybe staph. It spread from my thumb to my index and middle finger.

Guys, there's no flaming here, and no reason for it to get locked. Please stop. It's all fine.

I'd be tempted just to take a knife and cut out the infection myself. Especially since you had the pain meds.

It looks so much worse now. Did they saw how long it usually takes to get better?

Haha i wish vicodin was nearly that strong. Now if i had gotten some oxycodone we'd be having a different convo right now.

It just looks so bad because of all the slicing that was done to it today. I suspect I will start seeing some results tomorrow.

This isn't good. It's not getting any better. My doctor was really worried. He tried to get puss, but there was nothing. He called a hand surgeon. I'm gonna go see him in about an hour. Then he's gonna make a decision to admit me into the hospital. My doctor wants to admit me right now.
I really don't want to spend the next few days in the hospital.

If you lose your hand, will you wear a hook like a pirate? That would be pretty badass.

My dad almost had to get his hand amputated/hook on it, but they were able to sew it back up so he didn't have to. And anyways, that sucks. I'm no doctor, but I would have to say don't jerk off, you definitely wouldn't want that on your peen.

For sure. A hook is so much cooler than a fake hand.
I don't feel well at all. :(

I never knew you could get anything so dangerous just from popping blisters. I hope everything turns out ok.

Maybe they cut your thumb off?
My guess is cut out the infection and skin graph it ?

im not sure if the question mark means "wat does graph mean?" but here it is anyway. a skin graf is when they cut off a piece of ur skin, usually a big one, then cut another piece from a different part of ur body to replace the first one

pb125 those pics are break.com worthy. Send them in to make some money before the infection spreads to your brain.
just kidding about the brain thing. I hope your hand heals so you can continue to post on this forum.

I get blisters from the grips of my ghetto bike(mini bike with no brakes) and when they break i always put hydrogen peroxide on them, always have to disinfect those kinds of things.
