I'm sorry but this Jp drain is coming out tomorrow and I couldn't be happier!!!!!! It is so tender and I can't move an inch without it hurting! Can somebody tell me what to expect when the drain come out? Does it hurt worse than it already does?

OK the feeling is so hard to explain. Mine was very uncomfortable like yours. I mean miserable. If it got touched once it hurt do bad. I personally thought it was a very odd uncomfortable borderline painful thing

It really isn't painful, but it still kind of is. Just breath out when they r doing it..good luck...u will b able to relax do much once it is out

truth be told..it will take your breath away. I just had a face of shock when they did it....2 mins later I was fine

It doesn't hurt just uncomfortable. Just keep breathing the whole time. The sensation surprised me and I accidentally held my breath.

Because mine flipped, it was the worst pain I have even experienced. It is rare that it flips through...just my luck. I would ask if they can give pain meds before hand. Most people say it just feels weird. It takes about a less than 30 sec to get it out.

It didn't hurt at all to come out and I felt 100x better with that literal PAIN out! Lol mine was also very sore when it was in and I has almost instant relief when it was removed.

Video of drain removal

I didn't have any pain when my drain was removed. It was more like that sinking sensation from a roller coaster and it was over in a second.

I guess I was one of the fortunate ones that didn't have a drain... Good luck.
