Hi Damaged ~ What did the doctor suggest that you do for pain?

Can you put ice over the wound? You could wrap the ice in a baggie or something, and then wrap the baggie in a towel and place the whole thing over your wound. You wouldn't have to unwrap your wound. Just place it over the bandaged wound -- the coldness of the ice will get thru. But the ice should help the pain. Just don't use a THICK towel. But ice is very soothing, and it's good for things like abscesses, etc. It reduces the inflammation, swelling and pain. Give it a try and see what happens. You could buy one of those gel packs that you freeze -- those are better than ice cubes. LOL

Keep me posted on how you're doing, will you? I'd really like to know! God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
