Weirdly enough -- for me, at least, and obviously YMMV -- the debridement procedure I underwent didn't hurt nearly as much as the cellulitis itself had, to the point where I would say, relatively speaking, it didn't hurt at all.

I guess what I mean is, here's hoping you have the same experience and come out of it just feeling better, period, rather than all the ow and the hurting.

Wound care specialists, IMO, have a strange sense of humor. Or are closet sadists. "This will hurt a little. Oh, it didn't? That means I'm not doing it right. Here, let me try again."
