Staple removal

I am getting my staples removed tomorrow, does it hurt? Any advice would be great.

Hi Brooke. I would call it mild discomfort. For the most part I felt a little tugging, but no lasting pain once they were out. Take care, Mary

Brooke, elcome...and am so glad you have others here to share with...

I had coils and am not a promoter of them at all...

Best wishes and prayers for your recovery...

Hello Brooke, it doesn't hurt. Strange sensation, but it takes nurse about 5 minutes to remove. They have a special instrument to take them off.

Your scalp will be too numb to feel anything. I went through it too. You'll feel more comfortable once they are out.

All the best Nikki

Hi Brooke. Didn't hurt me at all. Plus I had some stitches removed. Feel better soon. Jeanne

I had stitches for the crani incision & one staple for where the drain was. The staple removal was much better than the stitches removal. Stitch removal was a little uncomfortable, but not painful.

Thank you everyone so much. I feel a little better now hearing that it should go smoothly. I will update this afternoon when they are taken out.

Much Love.
