I think this feels like a root canal without lidocaine, so I'm going to load up on Vitamin C to prevent RSD. Also, I'm seeing a surgeon this afternoon just to have it eye-balled. I don't think he'll say anything special, but I'll feel reassured to have read advice on how to care for something this deep. I don't have a lot of faith in the PA who saw me in the ER on Saturday, so I'll feel better with an MD looking.

I have strong magnets that someone on this site recommended years ago, so I will try them tonight and see if they help me get a good night's sleep.

Thanks, Folk.
