Still swollen
Hey guys!
So it's been two months since my M31 implant, and one and a half months since my finger is swollen...
So it's been two months since my M31 implant, and one and a half months since my finger is swollen...
The swelling is about pea-sized, pretty hard, but gives in to pressure. Pressure around 20-25N causes some pain, hue is a bit purple-ish, but not overly different than my actual finger color.
There were two irritation sources around the two-week mark: once when I discovered that my work laptop uses magnets in the cover and base (painful!), and once when my finger got caught on a box while rummaging around my bag. Swelling began after that, and since, I ice my finger regularly.
I've lanced it twice, only blood came out. However in the past 4 weeks, every second week a small white spot appeared at the tip of the swelling, which I've punctured with a sterilized needle. Some pus came out (VERY little!), that was thin, pure white without any yellowish or pinkish hue. The poking was pain-free, but if the needle went deeper, it was painful and slight bleeding occurred.
To be honest, it does not feel like inflammation. I had inflamed subcutaneous pockets which have swollen a LOT bigger, faster, and were a totally different sensation - more like a bulging water balloon than this current swelling. My best guess would be that the irritation caused the inside of the pocket to open up and fill with blood - which in turn pushed the pocket open, letting it fill up and up, and creating scar tissue - my main reason to think so is because I pretty much lost all magnetic sensation in that finger.
Has anyone encountered similar?

This maybe different I am looking to get the magnets when Dangerous things gets them back in stock. Personally I will be wearing leather gloves when using my hand to avoid catching it.
