I had a friend who tried to remove earwax with a bobby pin. It was a really bad idea. He accidentally scratched his ear canal and it started bleeding. He was in so much pain. He had to go to the doctor to make sure there was no serious damage. After that, he learned his lesson and will never use something so inappropriate for earwax removal again.
A lot of people have horror stories related to ear candles. These are supposed to draw out earwax, but in reality, they can be really dangerous. The wax from the candle can drip into the ear, causing blockages. Also, there's a risk of burns to the ear or face. I know someone who tried it and ended up with a minor burn on their earlobe. It was not at all what they expected.
One horror story I have is when I used a cheap wax strip. It didn't come off cleanly and left bits of wax all over my skin. It took forever to scrub it off and my skin was red and irritated for days.
I heard of a case where the person had electrolysis and ended up with small pits on their skin. It was really a horror story. Apparently, the electrolysis device was too strong for their skin type. Another case was of a person who had an electrolysis session and then developed a rash all over the treated area. It was due to an allergic reaction to the cleaning solution used after the procedure.
My horror story was with shaving. I was in a hurry and didn't use enough shaving cream. The razor got stuck and cut me quite badly. Blood was everywhere and it was really hard to stop the bleeding. After that, I was so scared to shave again for a long time. I learned my lesson about taking my time and using enough product when shaving.
One horror story is when an old oil tank was removed without proper inspection first. Workers started the removal process and found that the tank had a large leak that had seeped into the soil for years. This led to a huge environmental cleanup cost that the homeowner wasn't expecting. The company doing the removal tried to blame the homeowner for not disclosing the possible leak, but the homeowner had no idea. It was a nightmare of legal battles and financial stress.
I've heard that some people using Rejuvi tattoo removal had really bad skin reactions. Their skin became extremely red, swollen and itchy. It was like their skin was on fire. Some even had permanent scarring where the tattoo was being removed.
There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.
Generally, iud removal horror stories are not common at all. In a normal situation, the procedure is quick and relatively painless. However, there are some factors that might contribute to a bad experience. For instance, if the IUD has been in place for a very long time or if there were issues during the insertion that were not properly addressed. But still, compared to the number of successful removals, the horror stories are few and far between.
Some people have horror stories about gallbladder removal. One common issue is post - operative pain that is more severe than expected. They might have trouble getting it under control even with painkillers. Another aspect could be related to digestion problems. After the gallbladder is removed, some patients experience constant diarrhea or indigestion, which really affects their quality of life.
The most common one is probably scarring. People often expect the tattoo to just disappear, but instead they end up with permanent marks on their skin. Another is unexpected pain during the process. Some lasers are more painful than others, and if the patient isn't properly numbed or the technician is too aggressive, it can be a very unpleasant experience.
