Removal of staples / clips

Posted , 11 users are following.

hi everyone

for those of you that had clips. Were they painful when they were removed?  I am only asking because I have never had clips and I don't know what to expect. I always have melting stitches so I can avoid things like this. Thanks 😀

    Hi. I had staples both times. First time they came out without any discomfort. The second time t dr applied some numbing cream because they pinched bit then it was smooth sailing. Not to worry all will be well.
