Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Mine grew and grew and grew! Had it cleaned out today. Freakingly painful. Stupid anesthesia didn't work. And I mean, it didn't work. Gotta give the doctor credit though, he kept shooting me up, it didn't work, but he tried. One funny bit (not at the time though), he put the stuff in to numb the eyeball, a drop. Apparently that's supposed to do the trick.... When I started saying " That stings, that really stings (after he had already re-loaded his syringe 3 times to numb up the eye lid), he opened the eye and took the drops and STREAMED the numbing stuff in. I'm laughing now, but believe me, I wasn't THEN! Okay, to my question... obviously they didn't get all the gunk out (they kept commenting on how huge it was), so I'm wondering.... how long do you think it's going to take to drain out? I forgot to ask... It IS going to finish draining right? He also took a skin tag off... he kind of got a clue right away that the anesthetic wasn't working when I yelled " OUCH " when he cut it off! LOL! Sent it to biopsy, it's just a skin tag so I don't expect to ever hear from him again. Thank GOODNESS! I'm all wore out from that " minor " procedure K -- Cheers!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Kathleen, I've never had one get huge like that. However, I used to get styes all the time. Depending on the size of the stye and the type (meaning the bacteria that caused it etc.) it could be a couple of days. They probably sent a culture off to see if it had staph aureus (MRSA) Did they give you any sort of antibiotic? Short of telling you to use warm compresses, and rubbing salt in the wound (salt will kill most infections due to the ph) when i used to get boils like that on other parts of my body my dad would take a sterilized needle and lance it. Also, my older sister was told that she got boils because she had such low iron in her blood.. now when I feel a pain in my eyelid.. I start plucking out eyelashes and it keeps me from getting styes. (Yeah my eye looks a little funny without lashes for a while, but I'd rather that than some infection) Kathleen Petrides wrote: > > Mine grew and grew and grew! Had it cleaned out today.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Good luck with that Kathleen, Is this a continuation of that injury you got from the cat all those ages ago? I hope your eye gets to being fully recovered soon. Jim had what appeared to be a stye forming last week. I had him do an eye wash with my Damascena Rose Hydrosol - 2 times, once that morning and once that evening. It appears to have taken care of the issue for him. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com , " Kathleen Petrides " <WoobeyQueen wrote: > > Mine grew and grew and grew!
