So i went to the dermo today and had two "funny" moles removed (not biopsied removed). While on Landicane i didnt feel a thing i think it was 3 stiches for each . Now about 10 hours later one hurts the other doesnt at all... WTF why dont both hurt equally. Oh one incision is located below the left breast (heh "breast") and the other is belt line on my back...

Never had stitches so is this normal you think?

If you're older than 3, how the heck did you get through life without EVER getting stitches?! :Q

When I had stitches running down my arm, I used to play with them like toggle switches :) That kinda made them sore after a while :(

Yeah, they'll be sore for a day or two, then drive you nuts. I just had a couple in my hand back in September. After a week or so I couldn't stand it anymore and took them out with an exacto knife. Instant relief.

I've never had a stitch either.

Never had yours tonsils removed? Or your wisdom teeth? Technically those'd be stitches.

No and no, though I might have to have my wisdom teeth removed in a few years.

Besides, aren't the sockets sealed with clotted blood?

I had gallbladder removed last week...they didnt use stiches though they used something like superglue to hold my holes shut. I've got 4 little holes, all of them itch....theres one right under my belly button that hurts like a bitch whenever i sit up and is half brusied cause they had a clamp there :( but yeah surg said they like to use this glue stuff cause its a lot faster healing time, less of a scar, and better protection from disease.
