Never saw a doctor. Never did anything but give it time to heal & no tugs for a few weeks.
I was worried more after the 2nd time but I'm 42 this year & it's been a healthy banjo string for nearly 20 yrs.
Good luck with it.

hopefully i'm that lucky, it's not as painful now only if you mess with it. It seems to be a little better, I mean, I think it's repairing itself but seems to be very tight not like before. Did you have similar symptoms Nads. I don't like the idea of this happening again. I hear if you don't have the surgery it almost definitly happen again.
