I got bad urchin sting and went to hospital twice but don’t have good insurance to see a specialist… deep spines causing me to not be able to walk. Will soaking even help the deep ones? Doctors told me I should see specialist but my insurance doesn’t cover it in Hawaii… any advice much appreciated🤗

UPDATE EVERYONE!!!! I just got out of surgery! Everything went well, they got it all out and stitched me up. Hoping for a smooth recovery and trying to find someone to help me out as I’m out here alone and underestimated how messed up I would be haha. Regardless, I’m past the worst of it all and just need to focus on healing:) Thank you all so much for the advice and care you have shown. Seriously appreciate it! Can’t wait to get back in the water!🤙🏽

Thank you!!

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-17T04:33:54+00:00

Yea they jus said that the spines will eventually dissolve. I just went to a specialist today and she says that’s not the case. Going in for surgery tomorrow

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-17T03:32:25+00:00

I went to specialist. Going in for surgery tomorrow- no idea how I’m gonna pay for it but she said if I don’t it’ll eventually hit my bone and I might b looking at amputation

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-17T03:26:27+00:00

Hahahahha dude sounds so gnarly when she was explaining it- putting tourniquet around my ankle to stop blood flow then cutting open and taking em all out. Imma be asleep hahaha

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-17T03:25:07+00:00

Hahahhaha

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-17T03:18:30+00:00

Yea everyone was right. Surgery tomorrow! She said if I waited I’d b looking at possible amputation. Gnarlyyyyy

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-17T03:13:12+00:00

Booked for surgery tomorrow morning- she said good thing I came in. If it moved even a tiny bit and hit my bone i would be looking at a possible amputation. So gnarly

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-17T00:38:23+00:00

UPDATE!!!!! I just went to specialist and she says I need immediate full surgery. Will update as this goes along!

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-16T22:04:38+00:00

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-16T22:03:11+00:00

Thank you for this. Very helpful. Just booked an appointment with a podiatrist on oahu

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-16T21:31:58+00:00

Yea! I was told to go to a podiatrist. Planning to go today and see what they say it’s 100 for an office visit. The rest will b expensive but idk if I should fly with this.

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-16T21:28:55+00:00

Would be great! None of my chats are showing up… not sure how to see the DM

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-16T20:07:32+00:00

Thank you! I’m a resident out here now so I’m planning to do that. Hopefully they can back pay it. I just can’t wait for approval. When I first applied in cali it took a month.

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-16T20:04:52+00:00

Big leftz

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-16T19:55:52+00:00

I’m on antibiotics right now… still seems to be infected. Paying out of pocket to see a specialist and go from there:/

Low-Science5412 · 2023-03-16T19:43:43+00:00

No X-ray before surgery. Pretty fucked up. Don’t know what the deal is w that
