TES 858 Posted February 19, 2013 I'm finally getting my drain removed after a week and a day..Now normal life can resume!! I'm petrified of the pain though I got mine taken out in the hospital and it wasn't too bad. The 1 stitch the PA took out before the drain actually stung a little more than the actual drain removal. The drain removal feels weird bc you can feel it snaking through your body a little bit (odd sensation), but the anticipation of having it done is far worse than the actual momentary slight discomfort of the actual removal. Good luck!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmckinney24 5 Posted February 19, 2013 I was advised to take a pain pill before my appointment and it did help. It does feel weird when they pulled it out but did not hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mich grand 35 Posted February 19, 2013 No real pain but it I really strange feeling. You'll do just fine. It is a feeling that can't be described. Just has to be experienced. It is awesome not having that thing in there. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teachbearga1 18 Posted February 19, 2013 I was scared myself. However mine was taken out in about 1 minute. It just feels weird coming out of your body. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackieV 246 Posted February 19, 2013 It was a weird feeling. I feel like I flopped like a fish out of Water. By far the weirdest feeling I had in this entire experience. It was over in a few seconds and I had no pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maharet111 544 Posted February 19, 2013 There seems to be two types of reactions...one is you feel like you were on a roller coaster and you get that floaty stomach feeling. The second is if the drain is twisted around s bit it burns coming out. I was the second kind and the feeling lasted less than thirty seconds. It takes them all of like four to take the actual drain out. Don't fret!!! I also have a huge adverse reaction to pain but I promise it was not bad at all.
