Re: Space cadet help please!
After removal, did you experience severe pain after? At a different A&E (staying with family) they said it could hurt for 48 hours. Asked if I was taking painkillers but nothing touches it other than local anaesthetic

The pain post removal was not as intese as prior as post was more like the after sting you get when you snub your toe ona door etc. if your still in pain 48 hours that to me would say they didnt remove the complete filament/s as for me at least it reduced a lot once the offening buggers were out

I believe you had blepharitis too? My lid started to look swollen, bit red, itchy, plus more gink with 4 lots of drops, trying to gently remove excess with a cotton bud (I can't find sterile buds to buy).
I'm using lid wipes, the warm compress, and have an eye specific microwave one. The only thing I'm not doing is the massage, too much pain

Really hard, ranges from uncomfortable to agony, eye closed most of time, costing a fortune in cabs to get to A&E.
