uggh..it been four weeks now...can't wait to get this removed! then physical therapy...just wondering how long did your PT take and were able to regain movement back of your injured finger...I have a pin in my right ring finger..hopefully this tuesday coming out...thanks
@TuviReb If I remember correctly, it took about a week to stop hurting. Just avoid putting any pressure on the tip of your finger and you should be fine.
I have a pin in my left ring finger and get it removed in two days. My doctor warned me about bending the pin while it was in. How do you know for sure if you bent and if so what happens?
@MrKmacs I remember when my pin was in my finger that it was nearly impossible for me to bend the pin from the force of the muscles in my finger alone. You could find out if you bent your pin from an x-ray.
@LoveyaMaggs The surgery does not hurt because I was under general anesthesia. When I had the pins removed a few months later, they gave me local anesthesia (so I was awake when they took the pins out). That didn't hurt either.
hi um i had an operation around 2 weeks ago and they have told me that the pins will need to be removed from 2 of my fingers. They said that i wont be asleep or anything but i will just have gas and air that wont numb it but will help with the pain. Is this what you had and did it hurt?
Hey, for this video, the doctor injected my finger with some anesthetic while I was awake and they pulled the pin out while I was awake. Don't worry, you won't feel a thing when they take it out.
@evoLxclan Unfortunately they injected my finger with anesthetic via a needle at the base of my middle finger (above the knuckle). They made 3 injections at that location. If you look closely at 0:15, you can see that my middle finger is slightly swollen from the addition of the anesthetic.
The doctor didn't put me under, he just numbed me up, so I was aware of what was going on. The weird thing was that when I did have the pin in my finger, I would try so hard to bend it but it wouldn't bend (it was a very weird feeling). However, when my pin got taken out and after all of the numbing medicine was gone, it kinda hurt when I tried to bend it.
Ya, they put me under. However, it was not any sort of gaseous anestestic, it was an interventricular local anestestic. So sometimes during the operation, I would sort of wake up just to feel them squirt more anestestic in my IV and I would then soon pass out again. The whole procedure was about 2 hours long, but it felt like 10 minutes.
did that hurt?

help, just accidently pulled my pin out my finger, what did they do after they removed your pins?

@TheBrooksgary Once they remove your pins, the anesthetic should wear off and you'll have a bandage on for a few days.

I'm getting a pin inserted in the same position as yours. How was the procedure when they inserted it? Were you awake or did they put you under?
