So I went in today to get was projected to be a lipoma on my back removed. Was supposed to be derma bond on top with 2 cork screwed anchors sub dermis on either side. Once opened he said “this is actually a large sebaceous gland clogged, oddly not infected but I have to cut around it and not open it so more tissue will be coming out than we thought”. 2 hours later he’s removed a pretty fucking big (to my eyes) what looks like a massive deer testicle. Bout 6 cm cut with 2 anchors and 15 stitches I believe. Dermabond on top. It looks in the pic like he got some muscle tissue but maybe y’all know better. First surgery and they did it local only so he was talking a bit but I was kinda whiteknuckling it to stay calm and not move. The pain is insane. He gave me hydromorphone which at 4 mg is doing nothing so I’ll get some norco tomorrow. Plan on taking TB500 daily maybe twice. Hammering collagen and GH. Any opinions or thoughts on pain management and speeding recovery are appreciated.
