Does Removing Staples Hurt?

[StephOnTheMove 22]

Friday my doctor is removing my staples and I'm unsure what to expect.... I'm expecting uncomfortable... hopefully not pain... Figured I'd ask and see what you guys have experienced!

Your surgery wasn't laprascopic?

[drmeow 323]

I've had staples in my scalp from a head wound and it didn't hurt when they were removed.

@@Ashlegal no no it was laparoscopic just the little incisions he closed with a few staples

[Ashlegal 525]

@@StephOnTheMove Oh, okay. I was just curious as I had never known anyone to need staples with laprascopic surgery.

I have had staples removed and no it didn't hurt. You'll be fine.

My staples didn't hurt either. I was pleasantly surprised as I was expecting the worst.

WHAT A RELIEF! I'm 100% a baby pain wise.... I'm like its gonna hurt.... GIVE ME THE DRUGS!

@@StephOnTheMove I was sewn from the inside and glue on the outside, so I have no idea about the staples. Sounds like you'll be fine. Should feel great once they're gone

It doesn't hurt. I remember when I had a c section and got my staples removed . I was so scared, It honestly isn't that bad.

[Beachsprite 118]

I'm terrible, for another op i just googled how to take them out myself and took them out myself - no problems or pain or infection - not that i recommend doing that of course but yeah no problem

I did not have staples for bariatric surgery, but did when I had a c-section and I did not even feel them being removed. You'll do great!

The only thing that hurt when they removed it was the drain

[onega128 21]

I had staples from my c-section and they didn't hurt to remove.

So how did it go?

[Elizabethrrt 1]

I have 23 staples that I am hoping to be removed Thursday. Some of them are irritated and sore to touch, I think they are over ready to come out, so that makes me nervous that its going to hurt. I have had many many surgeries and this is the first time I have had staples.
