Attack of the internal stitches!!

[Guest guest]

Hiya

I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and almost everything is going great. Having

had my staples out my incision has been healing nicely except for

one problem.

One of my internal stitches is poking through - the wound has healed

around it and it just pokes through a wee bit but it is very

annoying cos I keep catching it...anyone else had this?

I went to the docs and he tried to cut it out and pull it out with

tweezers to no avail! It is one of the ones that dissolve slowly

over weeks - the problem is that as it's not inside me it's not goig

to dissolve.

Any advice anyone? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it goingto

go away or am I destined for a spiky bum for all eternity?!!

Thanks
