Removing gauze stuck to wound...?

Yesterday, I skined my shin just below my knee (fell from the diving block cuz I'm a swimmer). I've had some gauze (with some TAO) on it with an ace wrap since. This morning when I decided to change it, I found the gauze stuck to my leg. Is there anyway I can remove it without it hurting or causing the wound not to heal right? I don't have any pain meds I can take, and I've already tried getting it wet, and it made it sting really badly but didn't help. Is there anything else I can try? I really don't want to pull it off. I have a really low pain tolerance. So if you guys could suggest something else, that'd be great. Thanks!
