Answers:
I have had several removed after surgery for kidney stones, it is uncomfortable but i would not say painful and it is very quick and it feels so much better when it's out!! They will numb you with a topical cream and then you will feel some pressure while they grab the coil then it feels like they are pulling about 5 feet of tubing out (it's really only about 12 inches) this takes about 10 seconds and then it's over.. Seriously it's not bad at all.. Hope all goes well..Health Question & Answer
