Thanks guys, I'll be having mine taken out under GA, when the surgeon licked his lips whilst looking at the X-ray, I thinked to myself its going to be a fun job for him.
They aren't painful now, but some rule along the lines of, if they're yanked now, before they become a problem, surgical insurance pays.. When they are a problem and need to be yanked, the government might get round to pulling them out anytime between now and the year 2956, unless I foot the bill.
So, out they come before they get painful, no waiting, no paying!
