Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2004 So a while back I had some knee surgery. Torn ACL. I can't remember exactly when it was, but it was more than a year ago. So tonight I'm sitting here, and I scratch my knee and pull out a fucking thread. A stitch from a year ago. I guess it's been hidden under some scar tissue all this time. I pulled about a half inch of it out, but no more will come, it's just hanging there. I feel like I'm going to unravel here. I'm halfway between going to the doctor and milking it to get out of work or just cutting it and moving on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted February 5, 2004 you can slowly pull it out with nothing happening, just don't go yanking on it hardcore style. I've had stitches before numerous times(not on anything as bad as a post ACL tear operation) and after the wound healed and the stitches started to itch I would always slowly pull them out. My doctor would always yell at me for doing it of course, but nothing negative came of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's pretty much every Tuesday for me. Gets expensive after awhile though. And even though it's a cliche, "Good help is so hard to find." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2004 I've pulled it out. There was a knot in it and I had to use pliers. About an inch and a half worth of stitch once I got it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needlenose pliers it was. I tried with my fingernails, it wasn't getting me anywhere. Ripped my ACL playing football in high school. Hobbling around on crutches in a football jersey with cheerleaders doting after me was the closest I've ever been to being... that kind of guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And how did you rip your ACL?... Shit, one time I was on the bus and I overheard this girl telling her friend about someone she knows who was getting ready for a wedding and noticed some string hanging out of their dog's ass. They started pulling on it and it kept going and going until finally something just popped out and shit sprayed all over the place and all over the clothes they were going to wear to the wedding. Turns out the dog ate a softball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2004 How long ago did you blow out your knee IDRM? Around 3 years ago initially, had to have two surgeries, it's been at almost 100% (minus the stitch) for like a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
