During my 1 week post op, a nurse assited me and took out my sutures/stitches. I was unaware one was left in (i know she was working on that same side for a long time and maybe it wouldnt come out) until i got home and showered. Now it's a little bothersome when i wash it or go to put ointment on my incision. Should i go in and take it out or wait 3weeks till my next post-op appointment?
