PRGal, I do suggest you get yourself massaging your wound area. The tenderness, pins and needles and sensitivity you mention will lessen if you do. Start with just a gentle touch in a small area at one end of the wound for a few seconds and gradually work it up. A lot of those sort of sensations develop because the area is not being touched or massaged. Even a little bit of gentle massage will make tissues relax and ease pain. Go on - grit your teeth and try it, just a small corner - and see how much it helps.
