    and I'm a little scared.

    Yes they are ready to come out. My thumb pad is tingly and burning. The skin around the stitches is numb.

    With the injury being so bad, it is going to take at least a year for my thumb to be 90% recovered.

    The feeling is like itchy, burny, tingly, pulling, sensitive, numbish - all in one. It's very irritating and my thumb can't 'rest' - like restless legs - if you've ever had that.

    I just hope it's not sore!

    What happened to your thumb?

    Slammed it in the kitchen door crack - so hard that the wood sliced through and detached the thumb pad meet from the bone. Not my best day.

    As a child I once got my nail ripped from its nail bed when my finger was in the door crack. Ouch!

    Ouch, that had to have hurt. When I was a baby I got three fingers caught on the inside of the door, it almost cut off the end of one of my fingers.

    Don't worry, getting stitches out isn't too bad.

    I sliced the pad off my thumb a while ago when I knocked over a wine glass and caught it in mid-air. The feeling has taken about a year to come back but it's almost normal now.
