i barely felt mine come up, just a couple of little twinges, but some came out and i didnt even know theyd come out, it was a relief to actually get them out, so any discomfort wasnt a problem, the worst bit was having to have them covered again for 24 hours, cos where theyd been was classed as an open wound, so had to have dressings back on overnight. dont worry hun, big hugs xx
