How bout when you're numb, but you have an itch that never gets relieved because you're numb!

That's the worst ever!!!

I had staples after my C Section and you can barely tell I was cut :-)

stitches dont hurt but like someone said it might feel weird with them being pulled out. Staples hurt a little more to get out depending on whether you have feeling in the area.

I had staples once around my belly button and I had to have the skin frozen before I had the staples removed. However after my recent panni/tt whatev you want to call it my doctor removed some staples and I didn't even feel it because I have very feeling in my stomach right now.

Some of my current stitches are actually just one long stitch, through my incision instead of a few stitches close together. That will feel really weird to be removed but I don't think painful.

If you're afraid of the pain, ask your doctor if he has something to numb the area before taking them out.

Your Dr. should cut them into individual sutures, if he doesn't then he risks pulling outside irritants and bacteria through the wound and I would be questioning any Dr. that would do that. It's likely he'll clip just under the skin on each side to make sure he can pull them all out on one side. That's the common procedure.

I had staples and they did not hurt to have them removed. I could feel the sensation, but it was not pain. And it was pretty fast! The scars are fading quickly.
