I have third degree burns in right hand with heaviness and pain while letting down please help
hello as I saw in the history and clinical photograph attachment removed to protect patient identiy that you had suffered severe almost third or fourth degree burn with a scar and you have a lot of difficulties owing to it is almost six months and I think within a few days once couid infection comes to a standstill you can go ahead with the definite surgery of escher excision and grafting which might decrease your pain and trouble since most of the cases owing to pain and immobility the limb gets into state of contracture so I recommend you to do some kind of physiotherapy and exercise to prevent it you can definitely go and consult a plastic surgeon and go ahead but I recommend you to wait for some months since due to coronavirus there are high chance of hospital acquired infection you may take painkillers like tramadol when pain is intense
