** wounds and CH

Hi

Last week I cut off the end of my thumb. To stop the bleeding I covered it in straight pickling lime which congealed quickly. It went very hard and I had a large lump of 'limestone' on the end of my thumb. After a few days I alternativly soaked it in olive oil and h2O2 to dissolve the rock and it has started to heal up nicely. The amazing thing is it has not been sore at all. From past experience when badly cutting my finger it takes about 1/2 an hour before it begins to sting and throb and remains very tender for a week or so. With this there was no sting, throb or tenderness and the hard rock coating let me shower without covering it and go about my life as normal.

Moreless can you tell me how the CH stopped the pain. Does the calcium protect the nerve endings?
