cheers for the two fast responses :) well the answer is a general anaesthesic then removed. will have to go back at a later date :(

Answer 1

probably with a local aneasthetic and a long pair of forceps.be brave it wont hurt as much as childbirth

Answer 2

You have 2 more hours so take something to calm you down if you have at home (some herbal drops ?) its a bit painful but it has to be removed. They do it while they see where it is so it should be quick.
