I use frozen lima bean bags, because I hate lima beans. .
heat 3-4 times a day for 20 minutes for the following 3-4 days. .

total recovery time 4-6 weeks for minor,
6-8 weeks for larger,
depending upon location and severity.

If this is your first then gauging by your pain level, unable to tell the severity
Based on my time in pre med think you are cooking the lima beans too long.
