My mom had surgery nearly two weeks ago ago on her wrist after a cyst had formed. She's been wearing this cast sort of thing. It had gauze and cotton in it and a vinyl sort of thing wrap. A few days ago the pain started to get really bad. The gauze was rubbing against her palm, and all the pressure was making it numb and very painful. She took it off herself tonight because it was giving her so much pain. Her doctor was out of town so she really didn't have a choice. She couldn't handle the pain anymore.
She took it off and the skin where everything was agitating her was a purple-ish sort of hue she said. She's in tears right now because part of her palm is numb and everything is really painful. She's terrified she's lost feeling in her palm though and she's freaking out.
Can someone who knows what they're talking about please assure me that she didn't lose her feeling and that everything will be okay?
