Will it be painful? healing time? procedure?

Very serious at all ages. Yes, there will be some pain, even of tonsil removal. I had my tonsils removed when I was 27. It hurt so much, and some blood came out of my mouth, but I had a towel on me and a little sink was attached to the dental chair. It wasn't the dentist, but a surgeon in the dental office. Drink something, such as a bottle of water or even Crystal light after wards.

My husband had this procedure done but they used the chemical right after they removed it.  They didn't guarantee it would work as it's difficult to get into the correct area.  They just swabbed it on and into the abscess left by the toenail.  It appears that the nail is growing back now, 6 months later.  They did tell us that just because it became ingrown before does not mean that it won't grow back correctly.  I understand you wanting to avoid the pain though, as my husband suffered for a long time before having it removed.  He was pleasantly surprised at how little the procedure bothered him in the end.  \n\nI'm sorry that I can't help with the specific information you requested but possibly I helped a little.  I would recommend you call the office to inquire about it. I think a nurse could provide you with the answers you are seeking.\n\nGood luck!

Well I would think that if the thought makes you queasy that would be enough to make your decision for you. It's really not that bad. I have a high threshold for pain as well.\n\nFirst they of course sterilize the jewelry and clean that area. Then they place marker dots on the exact spot where the curved hollow needle will go though. A clamp is attached to your nipple to hold it still. The actual piercing part goes very quickly. \n\nYou may bleed a little bit through out the first day and you nipple will be very tender for about the first week. After that It shouldn't bother you, unless of course someone or something accidentally bumps it. That always happens at least once but it only hurts for a few minutes.\n\nJust follow the piercer's care instructions and you shouldn't have any difficulties keeping it clean and healthy. Also it helps to carry a small kit with q-pits, neosporin, and anti-bacterial soap. You need to turn your jewelry through the piercing several times through out the day. Make sure that you clean off any debris before you do that.\n\nGood luck. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I've had mine for five and a half years.

From what I have found (which wasn't much) it seems to be a surgical procedure.  I will add the sites I have looked at but the are very technical and aimed at surgeons.\nI hope they will be of some help to you.

Actually you can request the gyno to cut it.  And, quite frankly, anything you do will have a little pain.

If it is deep you will need stitches. If you do not go it will take a long time to heal and will be very sore and there could be complications also. You may need a tetanus shot also.

i had a tumor removed from the inside of the wrist bone and it sounds similar to what your having done. They hollowed out the bone and used freeze dried bone chips to fill it in. The good news is the bone grew back together just like new and 12 or so years later I don't even notice it. At first it will be weak and tender but I found a few things that helped. My hands and wrist were stiff because my wrist and hand were casted for 6 weeks so I washed dishes by hand to work the muscles back up. And the scar has healed quite nicely. I don't get any phantom pains when it rains or anything like that. I think you will be just fine. I just hope you don't go stir crazy waiting for your hip to heal. Good Luck but I think you will be fine.

hello I had to have my gallbladder taken out. it wasn't bad at all. I only hurt for about 2-3 days and was back to a regular routine and the scars are not very big at all. They are relativly small. You will do fine. Its really not as bad as it sounds! Good luck

my hubby had surgery twice ( elbow & wrist ) and both times it was an outpatient procedure but he was completely asleep. you will have mild pain for a few weeks and will probably be completely better in about six weeks. in the meanwhile of the healing process depending on if its the hand you use most you will require lost of help, from eating to daily normal activities

The procedure only takes a few minutes.  It doesnt hurt, but it is alittle uncomfortable.  the doctor will use a numbing agent so that you do not feel the scrapping of you uterus.

There is not much they can do for it. That happened to my dad, the pain very bad so i feel for you. It will go away but you are very suseptable to re-injuring it so regardless of what a Dr may or may not be able to do for you i would speak to one and get up to speed on this type of injury. Make no mistake it is very serious.

Does it hurt?\nYes - this varies with many different things such as how good your piercer is and how relaxed you are to how 'deep' the piercer chooses to place the bar. Try and talk to them throughly beforehand, it is mix of your preference (close to the front or roof of the mouth) and your piercer's experience. Avoid going to close to the front, can affect your teeth and speech and in rare cases even 'grow' out.\nWould you recommend getting it done or not?\nYes - the fact that you're even asking this question shows you're interested. Its fun. If you're worried how others will perceive you then maybe you shouldn't. I had my tongue bar for 5 years before taking it out (9 years with an eyebrow bar and still counting) and got a lot of enjoyment from it. Personally, i had ABSOLUTELY no problems with it, and having worked in a piercing parlour, i can also tell you major problems are rare and you generally have to be fairly reckless with your decisions.\n\nDO NOT believe half these responses. By in large they are a bunch of urban myths. Tongue bars DO NOT cause cancer, i mean really, really, think about it. It is stainless steel, not a degradable metal, did your parents tell you that? Ha! If you smoke, there are VERY mixed reports on the potential of mouth cancer with an exposed area of your tongue, again MYTH. If you smoke, you generally should avoid to while it heals. After the initial day or two, you are no more likely to get CANCER with or without it. I can't even bother to respond to some of the answers here, they're mostly far fetched nonsense. Some people can have teeth issues, but only if they're reckless and play with it in their mouths too much (generally a developed bad habit). Again, think about it, if you play with a chunk of metal OF COURSE it COULD damage your teeth. Simply ignore it, if you 'roll' it over your teeth, stop. Common sense will always win.\n\nOne other one i had to answer too... If you remove your tongue bar it will NOT "heal over instantly"... When you first get it, yes you cannot remove it for 1-2 weeks. I could remove it for well over a week at a time, and probobly longer if i wanted, with absolutely no problems.\n\nAnother one - DO NOT USE plastic tongue bars. Stupid, stupid thing to do. These will cause more problems than any normal piercing ever would. I haven't heard of any horror stories first hand, but i'm aware of them breaking, and sharp plastic in your mouth is never good. Again, COMMON SENSE.\n\nMake a sensible decision on your own. If you have any concerns over the myths then feel free to email me. I took it out for my own personal reasons, but really, just because i became bored of it. But for 5 years, it was fun and a great talking point to new people you haven't met before. I still have many new friends that all began with "Did that hurt?!!?". All in all great fun, but a decision you should weigh in your mind, and always use common sense and a reputable piercer.

I've had mine done and it doesn't really hurt that bad.Some places will numb you before they Peirce it.Just remember to practice good hygiene and NO SEX for at least 2 weeks to allow for healing.If you want to numb it yourself......use orajel or some other teething remedy.

It takes anout 6 weeks for it to FULLY heal.  Get it on the side you sleep the least on.  If you have long hair ALWAYS keep it in a ponytail, because it hurts like hell if it get tangled.  They used to only pierce it with a stud, back when I did it ten years ago.  To be honest though, for all the trouble its not really worth it.  I wore it for like 6 years and then it got played.  It is going to get hurt and probably infected, so go ahead and get some antibiotics if you can....good luck.

I've had the right one done, arthritis, and have to have the left done as well.  It will take time to rehab and you will need assistance for a while.  That pain isn't as much as I thought it would be but it still hurts.  It will be about 6-8 months before you are 'back to normal'.  But, sadly, you will have to have them done again.

My honest opinion for you is that it is going to suck for a bit.  You will have discomfort at first usually well controlled with pain medications.  You will also have to be wired shut for a few weeks (usually for about 6 weeks) where you will have to consume mostly a liquid diet.  Afterward, your muscles will be sore and tight. BUT, I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE END!!!!!  I have seen and been part of a few of these cases and actually had a friend who had it done about a year ago and everyone that I have asked, would do it again in a heartbeat!  Hope that this proves helpful, good luck with it!
