Dose having surgical staples removed hurt?

It hurts for a second while they're pulling them out, but once the doc is done, it goes away.\n\nI've always thought they were more uncomfortable while they were in!

Depends how long.  If I had hit a tennis ball just after getting mine removed it would have hurt like hell and probably burst my stitches.\n\nThe guitar thing shouldn't be too strenuous and school should be OK if you can walk OK.

Are they going to use local anesthetics?  If so, it may hurt a little.. The actual suction part shouldnt hurt because the fluid isnt connected to your nerves, the part that hurts is the invasive procedure..\n\nIf they are using systemic anesthetics (i.e.  knocking you out), you will probably feel tenderness in your knees that will probably be worse the 2-3 days, but will get better..\n\nDont worry.. youll be fine...

I haven't had the procedure myself, but a good friend had a hymenectomy at age 16 and said it was a breeze.  In my opinion, it would be much better than having the area rip or tear from sex or a tampon, and it is over in such a short time...not a lifetime of discomfort.  My friend has said she was a little sore right after the outpatient surgery, but mostly just itchy and irritated from the few stitches.  Post-op for her consisted of ice packs for the first day, pain pills as needed (not often), a precautionary round of antibiotics, and some soothing cream for the area as it healed.  It must have worked well, because now 9 years later she's happily married and has a beautiful baby.

Before the procedure...\n\nYES, Didn't like the needles...\nDuring, not a problem.  Didn't feel a thing.\nAfter, hit and miss.  It hurt alittle, but if I \nhit it, chewed on it.  Yeah....  it can be painful.

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.

Well, it could be for a number of reasons. Depending on what you had done, it could be just as bad as it was before surgery. I myself have had 4 knee surgeries, 2 on each knee. They did debridement under the kneecaps, removal of torn meniscus, and lateral releases on both. The cartilage under my kneecaps is just as bad as before, because the problem has not been fixed. The debridement was a temporary relief of the damaged cartilage, but the problem is that my knee caps are not tracking right, so there is grinding and rubbing on my leg bones. This is very painful, somedays are worse than others. Also, the scar tissue from surgery causes pain, as well as the muscles that did not recover. I went through a pain management clinic, and they say that after surgery, the problem can be fixed, but the nerves that are used to sending the pain signals become used to doing that. So this is where chronic pain comes in. About the only thing you can do for chronic pain, is learn how to manage it. I take ibuprofen when my knees act up, and I use aspercreme if they get really achy. Other than that, it's either more surgery or learn to live with it. For me, they want to do more invasive surgery that involves breaking and resetting bones with screws to line the kneecaps where they should be, but I'm still not sure if I want to do this, as it might cause more problems than I already have. Well, I hope this helps in some way. I feel your pain. Good luck.

I had one removed from my left and right hands.  One at a time.  The haling time is realistically about a couple months...a few weeks of pain and stitches...then there is a pain when lifting too much weight, or bumping the hand in that spot.  It hurts; just bask for some good pain meds.  Make sure you keep it elevated...REMEMBER...IMPORTANT; while you are sleeping; hanging around, because if you don't it will get even more swollen than it will be already, from the surgery, itself.  Ask the surgeon if you can see it.  It looks like a spider; be glad it's gone.  Good luck to you.  You will be fine.  get it out before it gets any bigger; one of mine was, and it still hurts; it's been 3 months.  It is better every day.  It is a standard procedure; very quick...20 minutes for the surgery, itself.  Don't fret.  relax.

Myomectomy\nI have had 2 fibroids removed 5 years ago.\nThe surgery itself is simular to how they do a hysterectomy. The incision will be about 3 to 4 inches across just below your pubic line, bikini cut.\nYou'll be in the hospital for 3 to 4 days. The 1st day after surgery is the worst, but you will be on a demerol drip.\nAfter the IV pain med you will be given percodan or some other strong oral med.\nYou will also have a catheter in for the 1st day. After it is removed going to the bathroom is going to suck. Not only will you feel like you have to pee constantly, but can't your stitches will feel like there ripping out everytime you move.\nYou'll be on a clear liquid diet the first 2 day and gradually be on solid foods by the last day. \nBefore they let you eat real food you have to tell the nurse you farted. Heheee!\nBy the last day they will have you up walking the halls. You WILL need the pain med to do this.\nWhen you go home the pain will not be as severe, but you will notice that certain movements will aggitate the incision.\nDo not try to sit up by using your stomach muscles. Roll on your side and ease up that way. \nAvoid walking up and down steps too.\nThe healing proccess is pretty fast. By the end of the 2cd week you will feel good. The only thing you will be bothered by is the feeling of the stitches pulling when you move certain ways. It won't be painful after the 2cd week.\nTry to walk as much as you can. Take a pain pill before you do at least for the 1st 2 weeks.\nThat will help speed up healing and make the muscles stronger\nUse neosporin or vitamin E on the incision scar. That will help it heal and fade better.\nMake sure you drink lots of water and cranberyy jiuce so that you wont be at risk for any urinary infections.\nOther than that it realy isn't too bad.\nUnfortunately fibroids can come back. I have 2 more that need to be removed again. However, I am 8 months pregnant with my 1st baby. I would not have been able to carry her if I would not have had that surgery.\nGood Luck!

When I was in nursing school my instructor had a similiar story.. Her son had an accident (I don't remember what) and had 40 staples ear to ear. He had an infection start under the staples from an allergic reaction. They removed the fluid by inserting a tube in the scalp and put him on iv antiobiotics. I hope this helps. Just get to your Dr. ASAP!!   GOOD LUCK AND GET BETTER

No.  Either way should staple the same amount of paper.  It's easier to remove staples if the prongs point outwards instead of inwards.

Maybe, if it would be easy to remove, but you might get a bacterial infection.  Also depends on how bad your cut is - don't know your age, but can you ask the school nurse, or your parents, or your doctor?

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

I  had a complete hysterectomy 4/2005 because of ovarian cancer. Depending on the method of removal-vaginally or abdominally, your scar will be different. I had abdominal surgery and a scar from above my naval to my pubis, closed with staples.  You will have to wear a sanitary pad after the operation.The staples were removed 5 to 7 days later. There will be restrictions on lifting, showering, driving, climbing stairs after surgery. The recuperation period is 4 to 6 weeks. You will feel a pulling sensation when you try to straighten up in the beginning. I was tired from the operation for a few days due to the anesthesia, I think, but there was no unusual fatigue after the recuperative period.. If you haven't gone through menopause yet, your body will be forced into it all at once and that may bring up other issues you should discuss with your GYN. I had finished menopause by 46 and was done with the hot flashes etc. It is major surgery after all, so take it easy if you need to.

No. "Do not try this at home".  You could cause damage to your uterus or an infection if you tried to remove it yourself.  Have a doctor or a nurse practitioner remove it.  This can be done at a Public Health Sexual Health clinic for little or no cost.
