K wire removal after surgery - does it hurt?

I had a k wire inserted into my toe a couple of weeks ago, and I'm having it removed tomorrow - does it hurt? I haven't been told much about it, is it worth taking some pain relief beforehand? Do they offer numbing injections or anything? My toe still hurts as well l, which is making me worried about the pain. (I have a rubbish pain threshold!) And how was your injury afterwards, was it tender? Many thanks for any advice! Smile

My daughter had k wire removed from her elbow - they gave her gas and air and she didn’t seem to feel the removal. It was quick and fine.
