I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be writing, but I have a question regarding the recent minor surgery I had to my foot.

Two weeks ago I had surgery on my big toe to repair a fracture. Unfortunately, at the end of the four-week recovery, I'm going to be in Brazil. I'm looking for an orthopaedic surgeon in Brazil (near Macaé, Río de Janiero) who can remove the two pins, which protrude from my toe. This is what my doctor recommended if I weren't able to be in his office at the end of the recovery period.

An alternative to finding a local orthopaedic surgeon is simply to remove the pins myself. It seems as though all that's needed is a pair of pliers and some sterile gauze and tape.

I'm leaning toward the latter, as it seems like a very simple procedure. Just make sure to keep it super clean and protected.

I have puss, and a lump in my earing hole. I haven't worn earing in at least 5 years. It has been a week. I have been putting rubbing alcohol, and ointment on it, but it seems to hurt more everyday.

Guys, I injured my finger tonight while to a repair to my house. Basically a aluminum sheet cut my left thumb (right above the knuckle). Its a rather deep cut and the sheet fell about 2 feet directly onto my finger.

I took a shower and clean the cut with soap and water to the best of my ability (to the point that i was about to scream like a 5 year old). My father used povidone iodine (10%)and neosporin on my finger.

no serious pain unless i spread open the cut, i have full mobility with it.

1) no rust on the aluminum, do i need a shot of some sort?
2) is povidone-iodine okay for this?
3) any other tips?

thanks in advance guys.

I'm sure the pain must have been excruciating, causing him to want to pull out the stingray's barb. In your professional opinion,
did he have a chance to live without removing that barb?
Or, was it all over once he was stabbed in the heart and venom was introduced? My question is sincere and compassionate. Please, only qualified persons reply. Unfortunately, we have some sicko people around who enjoy other's misfortune.
He was a decent man and husband and father.
