I should probably post an update on this.
After accidentally bumping the back of my hand against a table and getting a reasonable amount of pain that was coupled with more paresthesia, I decided to palpate the area and found that it didn’t take much pressure on the proximal side of the implant to trigger the same reaction. At that point, I draw the conclusion that the device was most likely applying pressure on a nerve bundle so I opted to get it out. This all happened on the day of my previous post, before I had the chance to read any of the replies to it.
Another thing I found was that what I though to be migration was actually the implant bouncing between the two sides of the vein below.
I’m not sure if I overreacted but at the time, I thought that the hassle of getting an implant autoclaved was probably better than having pressure on a nerve bundle. So far, I’ve had a few shooting pains on my thumb but things are pretty much back to normal.
This was only during the day, the episodes I had that night lasted a while and where severe enough to wake me up and make me consider going to the ER.
I also found this weird. Maybe something getting stimulated upstream? I’d like to know why this happed.
Awesome mum indeed!
