Question: I am having stitches removed tomorrow following surgery!. Does it hurt to have them removed!?
I recently had pretty major surgery and was wondering if getting stitches out would hurt!. I have a LOT of them and am a bit nervous!!! Never had them before!. I would really appreciate honesty!

Thanks,

I will agree with Miklo, but add to that!. It isn't always so much the MD (though many times it is), but WHERE the sutures are located!. I have had sutures removed from my hand that hurt a lot during removal!. I've had sutures in my arm that barely hurt!. I have also had sutures removed from my head that hurt more than any other suture removal I've had before!.

I hope this helps! Good luck and feel better!!

To be honest, It depends on the doctor taking them out!. I had stitches twice!. Both times removed by different doctors!. First time didn't hurt at all, second time hurt just a little!. No big deal though!.!.!.The actual stitches hurt more than them taking it out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
no, really, just a very slight tiny pinch on some of them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
