Hi Lindsay, I'm so sorry that happened, but sometimes stitches do not dissolve the way they are supposed to. They just sit there, and then the body says, "Hey something is wrong" and you get the infection and pain that you experienced. Did you have any external stitches that were removed? If so, this might have been part of the external stitches that didn't come out when they were removed. If you only had internal stitches, then this is just a stitch that decided not to cooperate. It might be what is in your hand too, I'm not sure.

Hope it gets better soon!
