They were fused to my jawbone and wouldn't let my permanent teeth come in. They seem like the would be itchy elsewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stitches#post-757145 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:17:11 +0000 MsLipGloss 757145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had stitches 10 times total . . . but I have never broken a bone (except for a toe). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stitches#post-757117 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:11:08 +0000 Turd Ferguson 757117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only a couple of times (luckily!). I broke my arm my senior year of high school and had two plates and 13 screws put in...also, a lot of stitches... I've also had stitches twice now for my wide local excisions at the dermatologist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stitches#post-757102 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:04:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 757102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got 8 stitches in my forehead in first grade. cut my head open on a desk screw!</p> <p>and lots and lots after birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stitches#post-757101 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:04:02 +0000 MrsRoo 757101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 14 in my forehead when I was 4 and fell out of bed, 8 when I broke my nose in HS, and I was too scared to ask my doc after labor, but it took about 45 minutes and I know I had second degree tears internally after labor :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stitches#post-757093 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:01:36 +0000 .twist. 757093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only stitches I've ever had were in my gums when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I'm very scared of stitches in any other form. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stitches#post-757067 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:56:54 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 757067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember having stitches as a child. But I did have them after my total thyroidectomy 9 years ago.</p> <p>I recently had a robot-assisted laparoscopy (so 3 small incisions) but not stitches. I was glued back together. It seemed strange to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stitches#post-754140 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:15:00 +0000 MaisyMay 754140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever had stitches? I had 4 stitches when I walked into a nightstand (2 years old), and 1 following labor. </p>
