Surgical pins

Anyone had surgical pins removed before. Got 5 in my hand that are coming out in 2 weeks and just wandering what to expect. They still hurt pretty good for the most part and any kind of contact against them is VERY uncomfortable. Is having them removed, a pretty painful experience?

it says you're a correction officer as your occupation--you wouldn't want prisoners to know you cried like a bitch when they were removed would you?

 

if they're sticking out of the skin, they should come out easy--some even fall out. just remember when we pin a 6 year old's elbow, we remove the pins in the office as well. put on the man pants and you'll be fine

Just trying to get a rough idea of what to expect.

if they're sticking out of the skin (most are), you can expect the dr to pull them out with needle nose pliers---maybe a little pain, maybe not. maybe some bleeding from the pin sites--not uncommon.

I think Kirk was saying that you should expect to feel the sweet burlap scratch of man pants, nothing more and nothing less.
