Ouch indeed! Do you think it will need stitches?

Re: Ouch!!!


OUCH poor you.

Hand and foot injuries are so very painful due to the large amount of nerves in those areas. Hope you have a nice clean bandage on it and try to elevate your hand and rest it on your alternate shoulder for support. It will help to reduce pain and any swelling. Take some analgesia and keep it clean by bathing in saline water.

Get better soon (Matron's lecture over )
