Stitches

How much does it pain when the stitches are removed?

i have a deep cut on my right thumb. the doctor's put three stitches, i m really nervous about getting them removed. it already hurts a lot when they remove the dressing. the stitches will be removed on the 8th day.

1. dont be panic suture removal wont hurt you promise
2. Don't worry. It doesn't hurt at all when stitches are taken out. For one thing, that part of your injury is all healed by then, or they wouldn't be taking out your stitches. I've had tons of stitches and stables removed and it doesn't hurt at all. You can feel that something is happening; a gentle pressure, but no pain. So relax. The worst is over.
3. Respected Sir/Madam, U don't worry about that stitches, y means if the wound is completed clear means there is no pain to that one, first-of-all tough ur thumb there is any pain means take care, there is no pain means with-in 30sec. will complete.
4. it wont hurt. It feels weird but doesn't hurt.
5. I underwent a major surgery in my stomach three years. While stitching is getting removed we should think of the relief we are getting after the surgery only. Do not panic. No pain No gain. At the same there will not be any pain while the stitches are removed. You will acknowledge and admit that there was no pain at all. Bye and wishing you a speedy recovery
6. how did you get hurt ??? Removing the stitches wont hurt at all. It takes only about 10 minutes. Close your eyes and think of something pleasant. it will be over in a jiffy.. Believe me... I was hurt 3 times in the head with about 3-4 stitches each time... It did not pain very much!!!
