Which is worse new wounds or old wounds that should of be dealt with long ago that werent?

Answer 1

depends on the type and the severity of the wound.

never ignore or compare wounds.

treat the fresh ones and get help with the old ones esp if they did not heal properly, there is a potential for later issues if injuries go untreated.

Answer 2

Physically?
Old wounds have scar tissue - and scar tissue has more nerves that undamaged tissue. (Don't ask me why.) ...So old wounds are more painful to re-open or cause prolonged suffering.

Example: an old broken bone that didn't heal right gives you a lifetime of discomfort. Re-breaking it to re-set it is awful.

Emotionally?
It's practically the same. An old wound that wasn't dealt with - festers and causes greater psychological damage than just dealing with the injury when it occurs.

Example: Abuse victims can become repeat victims or abusers themselves without counseling to help deal with the injuries and indignities they suffered.
Peace.

Answer 3

Old wounds that should have been dealt with long ago that weren't because you could develop real problems later on.

For example, I know this guy who had to get screws into his knees, but had to use crutches for 8 months. On Christmas Day, he threw them into the fire. He said it was the worst mistake of his life, because now when he does work, he has to stop for a few minutes every now and then because of his knee(s) and they create some problems for him. Not too much, but enough to where it affects him.

Answer 4

Well, the good thing about healing the old wounds is that they go and you know how to cope with them, the fresh ones are always a surprise. I go for old ones.

Answer 5

Old wounds are worse. because it will take alot more work to fix things. with new ones you know what you did wrong last time so you can adress it properly and not let it happen again.
