Transdermal causing tendon damage? Any help appreciated.

Hey guys and girls,

I got what I think was a transdermal done at the weekend - there was
so scalpel, the piercer punched three holes through the skin on my
forearm with a needle and then slipped the metal in before capping it.

My problem is that I'm very skinny and my arms are just skin over
muscle and tendon. When I type you can clearly see the tendons from my
hands rising and falling up and down my arm.

The piercing is right over them, and today I've noticed that the area
- which has been completely pain free so far - has started to ache as
and after I type. I'm concerned the 'implant' is damaging the tendons
by sitting on top of them and impeding their movement, but I also have
low-level RSI in that hand and arm, and am used to pain as I type
anyway - just not that far up.

I'm reluctant to blame the piercing as a) I love it and b) it seems
too small to cause any damage - at the same time though i'm suspicious
that the process of getting it was nothing like I've read, and
concerned that it may be making an already painful condition worse. Is
it possible for it to cause damage like that? The metal under the skin
was no longer than a few millimetres.

Any advice really gratefully received.

Cheers,

Sam.

I've got a problem right there: you THINK you got? Did they hold you
down and perform some unidentified body mod on you, Sam?

Drunken piercer and gang of friends: "Lesh just do shomething random!

it'sh a transhdermal or maybe it'sh shomething elshe! GET HIM! HOLD
HIM!"

Sorry, I can't tell anything from that photo.

Cheers to the fellow skinny person though! :)

My advice would be to see your family doctor if you have medical
concerns. Is your arm still hurting? If so, visit your doc. Best
wishes!

Hey, did your skinny-ass arm fall off?

You asked for advice, at least have the courtesy to follow up.
