#granulation tissue

[crapchronicles]

Today the pain from granulation tissue (over grown tissue with nerve endings around my feeding tube stoma) got so bad I almost got in a car accident and almost had to cancel doing my telemeetings because I physically couldn’t speak.

I asked the interventional radiology nurse what I could do for it a few days ago when the pain was less severe and she said nothing till it gets bigger. Well, you’d better believe I drove to Walgreens today and got myself some lidocaine gel to put on it. Almost instantly after using it, I had no pain.

This tissue is the size of half a pea and it was causing such bad pain I was bent over hyperventilating in the store. So I called my dr today and told them IR didn’t want to do anything and they made an appointment for me.

The plus side is, since I’ll be seeing my doctor anyway, I might be able to get my GJ conversion and a button a month earlier than I was going to. Having a button might actually help the granulation tissue as well.

Two Year Histerversary

Wow! It’s been two years since my hysterectomy! I had a total hysterectomy removing my uterus and cervix, leaving my tubes and ovaries, via Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy on August 31st 2016.

Life has been pretty uneventful in this second year, regarding my vagina and uterusless space. I recently had some left over granulation tissue cauterized with silver nitrate, granulation tissue…

Alginate Dressing: A Closer Look at its Role in Chronic Wound Management

Chronic wounds pose a significant challenge in healthcare, requiring specialized treatment to promote healing and prevent complications. Among the various wound care products available, alginate dressing stands out for its effectiveness in managing chronic wounds. Let's explore the role of alginate dressing in chronic wound management in greater detail.

Understanding Alginate Dressing

Derived from Seaweed: Alginate dressing is made from seaweed, specifically brown algae. This natural material is processed to create a highly absorbent and biocompatible dressing that is suitable for a wide range of wounds.

Gel Formation: When Alginate Dressing comes into contact with wound exudate, it undergoes a gelation process, forming a gel-like consistency that conforms to the shape of the wound. This gel provides a moist environment conducive to wound healing while facilitating the removal of necrotic tissue.

Absorbent Properties: Alginate dressing has excellent absorbent properties, capable of absorbing large amounts of wound exudate. This helps maintain a moist wound environment, reduces the risk of maceration, and promotes the formation of granulation tissue.

Benefits of Alginate Dressing in Chronic Wound Management

Exudate Management: Chronic wounds often produce excessive amounts of exudate, which can delay healing and increase the risk of infection. Alginate dressing effectively manages exudate by absorbing it into the dressing, thereby reducing the risk of maceration and promoting optimal wound healing.

Promotion of Granulation Tissue: Alginate dressing creates an ideal environment for the formation of granulation tissue, which is essential for wound healing. The moist environment provided by the dressing promotes cell migration and proliferation, facilitating the growth of healthy tissue.

Does anyone have tips and tricks to help reduce granulation tissues buildup around a g tube/gj tube? I've tried everything recommended and my doctor doesn't know jackshit so I was wondering if anyone had something I haven't already tried.

I've tried zinc, pressure, and silver sulfadiazione. Any other suggestions?
