On-Q pain pump

Did anyone have problems removing it, or am I just a wuss?? It's hurting! I'm supposed to take it out today but I swear it's stuck!

Are you laying flat to remove it? If you still have trouble, you should call the doctors office.

I was standing. I just put a cold towel to it and started thanking Jesus for removing it while steadily pulling it out. I finally got it! Lol I didn't realize it was so much in there though.

I had to help my husband take his out after a surgery several years ago. I couldn't believe how far it was put in and how much effort it took to remove it. I thought it would just slide out.... Wrong.

It's s catheter pain device that's implanted in your abdomen to dispense constant pain meds. You wear it home and remove it yourself after it depletes.

Glad you got it out!!
