Anyone had them taken out?
I have rather a lot of big ones that are going to be taken out in about 10 days time. I'm being a wimp, does it hurt?

Nipped a bit when they came out, but if it's your arse then it'll probably be worse :nervous:
I would think it would be alot less, being all fatty, maybe its just my ass but theres not a whole lot of feeling down there.
I seem to have lost a lot of the feeling on the surface but yet still hurts. Not overly impressed. Will still load up on the painkillers but sounds like shouldn't be too bad, especially compared to everything else I've had done recently.
Arse may have less feeling but possibly more sensitive, I know I feel sharp pain in my arse far more than in hands as they take such a pounding in general life.
My arse is also less sensitive than elsewhere Manda! I have injections in the top of my butt cheek fairly often, and don't even notice them. They have to tell me when I should pull my kecks back up.

The midwife sad it totally differs from person to person.
Thanks all.
Just take pain killers an hour or two before.
The best bit is, I was told the older you get the less likely you'll have another one.
I think anyone can get them. I know a woman who had one when she was young and she didn't fit the profile either. She only had it the one time so you probably won't get another one.
You can imagine how happy I was when it finally healed over!
Am lucky as we have wireless at home, so have laptop lying in bed. My stitches seem to be struggling a bit on the bottom bit so I am being a good girl and lying in bed pretty much 24/7. The packing was also uniquely painful.
But I dont think butterfly stitches compare to the stitches your talking about.
