beagleboy Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 My back surgery last Thursday was a success. The surgery was longer than they anticipated, about two hours. Today was the first day I was feeling up and around. I have approx 14 staples on the back and was wondering will it be painful when they are removed? Has anyone experienced the removal of staples? The road to recovery is underway and I hope to be in the deer woods come the end of October, beginning Nov. Good luck to all and thanks for your prayers!!!

OJR Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 That is great to hear that surgery went well! Good luck on the recovery! I have had bunches of staples and they burn a bit when they pull them out, but it isn't any big thing! Just a tad more than when they take stitches out!

dogdoc Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 glad you are doing better--the staples will sting a little when removed but not like anything you've already been thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NS whitetail Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 glad to hear that all went well. The staples only pinch abit when they take them out. My advice to you is walk as much as you can, it will help build your strenght back. Did you have spinal fusion ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Good to hear you are up and around. Have had staples twice now, once in the back, once in the abdomen. They pinch a little coming out, but no big deal. Some will come out and you won't even feel it except for a little tug. Drop a percocet or some tylenol about an hour before you go to have them removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
