Q: Absorbable Sutures - Allergy

Hello;

i have a plastic allergy and I am allergic to absorbable sutures. How do I counter the effect once they begin to absorb into my system? Typically, I have severe bone and msucle pain. I can almost feel it traveling through my blood system.

Always let them know before surgery, you should have it listed on all of your medical records and they do have a bracelet that you can buy and put on there that you are allergic to that.

Speaking of sutures, I still have one in my finger, had it for 6 months and it never bothered me.. Until now. It really hurts in that spot and I don't know why.

Any input?
