Stitches
Do you really need a doctor to take out stitches? If they did it right it should be easy enough at home, right?

Yes. I've done it and I'm good.

Where's the stiches?
I've taken out my own stiches and my dogs before, but I have training and use sterilized suture removing instruments.

Should I take location into consideration? I know I definitely don't want an infection.

I had stitches on my eye brow last year and had my neighbor take them out. Not bad, kind of a sensitive spot so it hurt a little....Just cut under the know on the middle one and if it doesnt open up the wound, you are good to go. I waited 9 days and was good. Best of luck!

I would douse the area thoroughly with Fireball then take some internally and go for it, what's the worse that can happen??

I do all my own stunts and remove my own stitches. I just need to learn to stitch myself...I would save blood and wasted time.

When I had my ruptured bicep tendon repaired last year, the worst part was getting the stitches and staples out of the incisions.
AFTER they were all out the nurse said that she thought they numbed the area.
The staples took quite a bit of meat as they were bent and twisted out.
I managed, but it hurt pretty good when they were getting tugged.
Oh yeh...the "repair" failed last month so I am going to another orthopedic surgeon Wednesday to see if it is even fixable at all.
:(
