Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 << So is that gonna hurt or what? >> We all have such different tolerances for pain that I bet it's hard to say. Most people have advised you to take a pain pill a half hour or so before the pin pulling event. Perhaps have one ready for during. Did you ask your doc? I know a woman who said it was minor pain when she had hers out, but I don't know what her pain threshhold is, nor yours. If pain bothers you a lot, fortify.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 The pins I have look like about like long stick pins, though only an inch or so is in my foot. Theyre long, about 5 inches. Not too big around. Just stick pins holdin my foot together.... then theyre gonna pull em out. So is that gonna hurt or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 I would also ask - have you asked the doc? My pins (after ankle surgery) were also thin and narrow, like you mention, but not nearly that long. They differed in length, the longest about 3 " . But they deadened the foot anyway before they took them out. Aren't they going to anesthesize your foot first??? Good luck. > The pins I have look like about like long stick pins, though only an > inch or so is in my foot. Theyre long, about 5 inches. Not too big > around.
