yes what you are experiencing may be considered as normal. it sounds like you are caring well for your injured finger. changing the bandages frequently and preventing infection is important. you only had the stich procedure 72 hours ago. the stiches will probably be removed within 7-10 days after their insertion. the laceration needs time to heal properly (usually about 3-4 weeks). the affected area was damaged and swelling most likely is present. as the swelling goes down the burning and pain will diminish along with any throbbing. perhaps you also sustained some superficial nerve assault which may take as long as 6-10 months to be resolved. in conclusion the damaged finger should heal virtually incident-free but needs more time than most people feel is necessary to recover from the injury. keep the area dry and clean (to prevent infection) by continuing to change the bandages take an analgesic every 4-6 hours for pain relief if not contraindicated do not overwork the lacerated area and have the stiches removed (and the healing assessed) upon your follow-up appointment.
injured finger sliced open 6 stitches. cleaning properly and bandaged. fingertip is burning throbbing? is this normal? . stitches were put in about 72hrs (3days) ago. still very painful.
