Stinging wound.

I'm 6 weeks post op after lead and defib replacement. Woke up yesterday with stinging sensations in my wound that I'd not felt before and it was really pretty painful. Later in the day decided to have a look at said wound and saw something light coloured sticking out ... so I pulled on it and out came a piece of 'dissolvable' suture. And voila, the stinging was gone. I learn something new every day.

I didn't get sutures - I got itchy steri-strips!

I'm glad you found the source of the stinging pain. Just be careful pulling out sutures! My wound is held by steri-strips, and man do those things itch.

You know you're wired when...

Like the Energizer Bunny, you keep going.
