No real pain since it was cut out. No, I am not taking any pain killers. They did use a local anesthetic ? before cutting it out.
Yes they injected me with a numbing agent directly into the hole and that was the most painful thing ever, I screamed.

Been there done that. The first time I got it they misdiagnosed it as a spider bite. Started on antibiotics and it kept getting bigger. Finally got so bad I couldn't walk. By the time they figured out it was MRSA it had gotten into my blood. I had a pic line put into my heart and was on Vancomyacin for 2 weeks. When they put the pic line it was 3 inches too long and was keeping one of my heart valves from closing basically flooding my heart. Almost caused a heart attack. Finally after 2 weeks of meds they went to remove the pic line and it wouldn't come out. It had formed some fiber tissue in a place in my artery. Long story short it dang near killed me 3 times the first time I got it.
Have had it twice since but neither of those got in my blood so it's not as serious just painful from the wound. Haven't got it since I got off the EMS.
