Stitch left in!

I’m 9 weeks post op tomorrow and have had absolutely no problems at all until recently when I noticed a little scab on my incision line. Anyways,after looking closer I’ve realised it’s a stitch! They were all removed when I was 2 weeks post op and the nurse must have missed it. I tried to remove it and it’s completely stuck in there. Any advice please? Thank you xx

At 9 weeks, how odd. I hear some people say they have stitches scab up and fall off…if it doesn’t seem like it will do that maybe you could call and ask a nurse at your MYA clinic? Maybe they’ll take it out for you.
Hope you work it out anyway! x

I’ve tried so hard to pull it out and it’s not coming out at all so it looks like I will have to ring the nurse. It’s a bit crazy how she could miss it :/. I’m quite annoyed by it. Thanks for your help lovely. Will defo give the nurse a ring xx

No, it isn’t great that she didn’t notice it. Sometimes I think the aftercare with MYA isn’t been totally perfect.
Best of luck anyway 🙂 x

Thank you lovely xx

Were they dissolvable ? I had dissolvable and I can still feel 2 stitches at 4 weeks post op x

I had stitches removed weeks ago so they must not have been dissolvable. Unless they use a mixture? I have no idea xx

I’ve still got undisolved stitches after 4 1/2 weeks. Xx

I’m working so much atm so not had any time to ring the nurse but I’m jut worried as she removed several stitches week ago and I’m over 2 months post op. Fingers crossed it will all be sorted soon. Thank you ladies xx
