Just curious. I've done smaller things and left no scars, haven't had an infection and my results are always very good.
But this would be the biggest procedure yet. I'm still probably going to do it because, as of now, I haven't the money for this procedure at an office or hospital.
Therefore, I'm going to do it on my own. From what I can tell, this is going to be painful, but the relief will be near-instant. Of course proper tools are needed and cleanliness is necessary. If there are any complications (infection, locking, swelling, returning fluid), I will visit an MD or DO.
Equipment:
1. Iodine
2. Rubbing alcohol
3. Distilled water
4. Syringe
5. Clean clothes (to be disposed of immediately)
6. Suturing tools if necessary
7. Temporary brace
8. Thermometer (to test for fever in case of infection)
9. Antibiotics (penicillin, bacampicillin, methicillin [if infection proves resistant to the latter])
Yeah...
