Results for: I ve had 6 major surgeries on my right thigh because of a botched hip replacement that became infected The long incision was closed with 89 staples 110 staples stitches galore or lots of stiches being removed 2 weeks after surgery about a month ago Never a problem with their removal in the past except for the last time about 3 weeks ago Excruciating pain Are the nerves and muscles and the skin itself just so sick of being messed with that it is overly sensitive? Freeze spray did nothing and I feel like Med Assistant thought I was faking Is it possible for skin to get more sensitive due to too much attention? I was literally crying and screaming and she was totally pissed So unpleasant YYYY@YYYY
