I have my Next implant in this hand for one week now. The chip seems closes to the thumb Bone and nerv and index vein. It isn’t painful but i feel tingling in thumb sometime and i feel really cold in it too. Is it normal and does it have any risk of something ? Thank you !
Jesus like God dam. You realise that’s there first post right
Any way that position aint the worst aint the best but hey ho. Pretty sure everyone gets some sort of tingle etc every now and again but I definitely think there’s a psychosomatic element to it.
I had some weird sensations for a few weeks near my index metacarpal, like a dull nerve ache. It eventually subsided after a few weeks, but keep an eye on it. If there was some minor nerve damage it could just take a while to repair, or if the implant is pressing against the nerve it may also just take some adjusting and time to heal/settle.
I would just monitor the symptoms but if they persist for several months or become worse you may need to take action.
Yes, about the first week it still hurts. Pushing it or even just making a fist with the hand sometimes you feel a sharp pain. Tingles and stuff just means your body is healing and covering the implant with tissue inside as any “foreign” body inside your skin. Give it 2-3 more weeks and you will be more comfortable with it.
The sudden pain does go away. Just remember not to play with it much (like pushing it or “feeling it”) so it can get in position right. If you move it a lot it might even migrate a bit. (Or a lot depending on your body type) let it heal.
Just adding to this thread, noticed dull pain on my NExT in cold (below 0°C) weather today. I don’t wear coats as much I should, and I have Reynaud’s syndrome, probably just tissue contracting in the cold. Not concerned just wanted to share
In cold weather I’ve had the regular experience where glass implants got noticably colder than the rest of the hand. I’m not sure exactly how that works though. My guess is that they are so superficial that they can be considered as an active little heat sink on the surface of the body so the blood has to dump much more heat into that area to keep up.
What you feel is the difference in thermal properties between glass and flesh.
