My stitch is poking me

Next to one of my incisions, I have a stitch that kept poking me through my skin. So yesterday, I pulled it out a little and clipped it (hoping that it would start to dissolve under the skin) now it's just poking me from the inside! Owwww.... It pinches.... Anyone have this problem? how long will it take to dissolve....?

    It's just something you have to go through. It gets better in a couple of weeks but as they are healing you will feel poking and sometimes a burning sensation.

    Ok... I guess i'll just wait it out...

    ...I'd always been told that a burning sensation after something poked you was a bad thing.... ;P

    Oh.. Maybe I'll get a pic of a soft cute bunny and everyone will like me. Although, that wouldn't stop some from wanting to make rabbit stew out of me ;)

    Mmm... unicorn soup and rabbit stew. Not eating anything but slop right now makes me kinda bitchy too. That, and my burning sensation... but let's not talk about that.... ;P
