Staples don't hurt coming out. You'll be fine.

And leave your dressing alone!

It may or may not hurt a bit. They pulled a bunch from my ankle, and I had a pretty long row of them. Truth be told, I did a few yelps and much deep breathing. If I had known better, I'd have taken a couple of pain killers ahead of time.

Maybe ask the Doc if he can put a bit of topical Lidocaine spray on the area before removal, providing your incision is healed enough.

But I also think he made a mistake when he assumed my current pain meds would be sufficient to the issue,5 mg's of morphine are certainly enough to keep my back quiet...but I don't feel they are up to the task post-operative wise

Most doctors WILL make a mistake on that issue, at least in my experience. Your back pain may be covered great from your ongoing dose, but after surgery, it is something "new" added to your body and needs treatment. I know when I was battling all those kidney stones earlier this year, when I was admitted to the hospital, the doctor gave me 2mg of dilaudid every TWO hours through an IV. He laughed at how stoned off my ass I was, but it was the first time in months I had been without pain and I just was ecstatic about that, lol. Of course, I was inpatient, where I could be constantly monitored.

As someone who is horribly drug tolerant of everything, trust me when I say, call the surgeon. This is essentially post op pain and a post op script only. Sadly, laws over the pain meds are forcing doctors to allow their patients to suffer pain. I'm glad that your 5mg script covers your back pain, it wouldn't even touch mine.

My wishes for quick healing, so you can be back swinging that club again soon.

Had my monthly appointment with my pain management Doc...he was upset with me for not giving his office a call.Stated there was no need for me to go post surgery with out some additional meds.He would have written me a short term percocet (sp) pescription....even offered to write me one today,I declined, I figure the worst is past and I really have no need for more narcotics in my house .
Maybe I can get something for when the staples come out,eh Kiwi lol

I like to choose who administers that pain though...a fine distinction perhaps,but a distinction none the less

Mike, in my personal experirnce, staples have hurt less than stitches when being removed. And even though your surgery was in a place that few, I hope, people will ever see, the staples make for a neater scar than traditional stitches.

YDD is right. Sutures definitely hurt more than staples. Neater incision too.

If you keep lifting up that dressing, you'll have bigger things to worry about that staples being removed (INFECTION).

Not gonna lie, staples tend to "stick" a little bit when coming out. But they come out a lot faster than stitches do so the pain is quick. When the neuro took mine out of my back there were a couple that had decided they wanted to be permanent but he got them out, those hurt like a mother but only for a second. The rest were easy peasy.
And dammit, leave your dressing alone! If you play with it and encourage additional scabbing the staples will want to stick more and hurt more when the doc takes them out. Don't friggin play with it!

Okay,okay I get it...leave the dressing alone.
Lucifyre,your post reminded me that I have had my own previous experience with staples(I know,I'm a bit of a ditz lately) mine too were in my back/neck area....and a few stuck when my neuro removed them too.
I think it is the location that is screwing with me more than anything else.
This thing is so close that the equipment is getting chafing from the dressing...is you know what I mean

Hon, staples don't hurt much when coming out. They have this little tool that is specifically designed to remove them with the greatest of ease. At most, it will feel like a little pinch when they come out. No different than you've seen folks play with them in a BDSM context.

And, stop playing with the dressing!

I can't help it...I still peel off scabs,I know I shouldn't<I know it will only prolong the whole heeling thing,that we will just have to scab all over again....but I do it anyway.

I'm back...and so,I think,is my hernia.
Here is my story and I am sticking to it....
I have entered health hell.....as many of you know I am disabled,last year I switched Pain management Doctors.No more driving up and down I-95 ,I found a Doctor in North Carolina.That Doctor thought I was going about the management of my pain all wrong,so he talked me into a new plan.
Under the old plan I was always in possession of a large bottle of Vicodin,I took a pill as necessary when my pain spiked.The new Doc objected to this on a few levels,one he thought i was on Vicodin too long,that I might be harming my kidneys or my liver(seems reasonable) and two ,he thought I wasn't being proactive enough....I was reacting to pain instead of managing it.
The new plan was to put me onto a low dose methadone regimen,15mgs of Methadone a day,taken in 5mgs dose3X...I was a little hesitant...but lets give it a try.Pain wise this plan worked great,but a side effect was that going to the bathroom became a daily nightmare.The methadone also put my bowels to sleep.
And so we get to the hernia,I did some research when I had the hernia,it seems a common path to getting a hernia is difficulty in having "movements".This is how ,I believe I got my hernia in the first place,not as I first thought,my little weight lifting regimen(in deference to my back I use a childs weight set,and am very careful in what I do)
Well ,to wrap this up,while the staples were still in,before I started getting a little active,I noticed the lump still there,liquid still squishing....I brought all this up to the surgeon...he assured me that all it was was some liquid still in the area and post surgical swelling.
Bullshit folks,I still have a hernia and I want to know if there is a 30 day guarantee on this procedure....I go to my GP this Wen. I will be screaming bloody hell.
I am 53 and life is a living hell,the drugs I take to manage my back pain have inadvertently led to a more intense form of pain and suffering.....
I intend to re-schedule this surgery(again) work something out with the pain Doc where I get weaned off the methadone and fix this while laying in my bed for a month(so as to protect both my back and my groin)let the world go to hell without me
I really ,really can not take much more of this...I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

first, guarantee? lol... no.. but he took on the job, he should give you answers.

I dont know if you are still working out now.. but if you are... stop.

Keep the appointment with the GP. You wont get in to see anyone else any sooner. Insist he assess the area. Tell him you want a second opinion and to make a referral to another surgeon. Its completely within your rights to get one. Often a Doctor making a referral will get you seen sooner than if you call on your own.

Its hard to tell just what is going on. It could be post surgical swelling. Or it could be the OP was not successful. Keep me updated.

No,not working out at all.I followed doctors orders to the letter
By getting active I was referring to getting out and doing some light golf club swinging,and with my back I do mean light.I can no longer turn on a golf ball,by that I mean there is no hip involvement in my swing ergo no stress to the area in question.
I learned a long time ago,due to my back issues ,that golf was a different game for me now....I am not a big swinger by any stretch.
Long story short,and the important part is that I thought and asked the surgeons partner( the guy who performed the surgery went on vacation that week) that there was still a movable,poppable lump there.I was still popping the sucker in before the staples came out.
So it hadn't held(if that's what I can call what happened) before I was doing anything.....but the partner passed it off as liquid in the area.....bullshit,I had a hernia....I am now familiar with how a hernia feels....and this still feels like a hernia
I seriously want to pull my fucking hair out,I'm waking up each and every day and trying to ascertain just how miserable I will feel that day.

My advice... a new surgeon... get it all sorted out... then possibly a lawyer. Or you can wait till the surgeon who did the procedure returns from vacation. I wouldnt.. but that is an option.
