Hey guys, some of you know I got a hole in my arm from a spider bite, now the hole was packed at the hospital 3-4 days ago I think! I have a surgeons appointment in like 24 hrs but the thing is the hole is looking alot better and its almost closing on the packing!!!!

Is it ok if I get some gloves, tweezers, get drunk as ****, sterlize them and pull it out to make sure it doesnt get stuck in there? or this is a bad Idea??

EDIT: well not drunk as ****, just a couple or more drink to numb the pain a bit!

i would leave it alone. i dont think it will close up in 24 hours but even if it does, he can give you a little zylocaine (sp) or something along those lines and make a little slit and pull the gauze out and then just give you a stitch or two. if you try to DIY something could go wrong. at least if something goes wrong at the hospital, you are already there. have patience grasshoppa...

Just leave it bro, you don't want to do something wrong and make it worse.

Hey I wouldnt mind doing that!

I dont mind pain during most procedures, it's the healing time and not being 100% that pisses me off like crazy!

I recently recovered from a brown recluse spider bite. I was wondering how
long you waited to seek treatment?

Here's the original thread : http://forums.steroid.com/showthread.php?t=251164

I waited about 2-3 days, cause I thought it was a bunch of fire ants or something

How did yours go?

I thought it was poision oak. Got the welts and the yellow discharge. I put bleach on it and iodine and rubbing alchohol on it kept it elevated and put ice on it. Next day started anitbiotics. I alos used GH (saizen) every day for
about 3 weeks. Usually EOD. It is healed with out scar.

I have killed over a hundred since then. I hate the little f---kers. I saw your
video. Man, I feel for you. I sincerely hope things work out for you and in
quick time. You must live in Missoure, Kentucky, Arkansas or down south.
Thats where they live. I live on a lake and they love the boat dock.

iknow you want to save some money but you may have gotten bitt4n by a brown recluse and a doctor can debreed that necrotic tissue that may still have some poision in it ive seen a guy that didnt treat it and had a systemic response to the byt and screwed up his whole muscular system he didnt walk quite right after that put it was probably and alergic reactin im an rn and know some stuff about this

I don't think he's caring about that arm right now after the bike incident.

That day, I washed the tweezers with anti-bacterial soap and alcohol, took off the dressing, washed it with AB soap, grabbed the packing with the tweezers and pulled it out and put new dressing on.
