    So last Thursday, March 17th I had surgery on both of my big toes. I had 4 ingrown toenail removial's on my left and none on my right. None of them worked. So I came back with two and they surgically put me out and cut open my toes removing the root from the bone. But they only took the insides. Anyways I have 2 stiches on each toe and I'm not good with pain. Will they hurt to remove? I'm terribly scared..

    DO NOT remove them; there is a big risk the wound will ope and that is not good.
    If the pain is too much, take drugs and get back to the clinician that did the procedure to check that something is not going on that should not be going on.

    Normally, generally and typically they do not hurt to have them removed.

    okay good. I'm very weak with pain as in, I cry with needles and I've never had stiches and I'm scared. What does it feel like?

    Normally, generally and typically you will feel the sensation of them coming out, but that is all, just a 'sensation', not pain.

    I've read that they don't hurt it's more of a tugging? But I feel like it might hurt due to the toes being so small
