Hi

Ok so where do i begin, I have suffered with constipation and digestive issues for as long as i can remember, i have had 2 colonoscopy 4 egd was diagnosed with internal hemorrhoids that come out from time to time when to much strainging  a year ago i had a baby in labor 3 days got to 9 centi whole pushing still ended in emergency csection. (WELL ALL THAT PUSHING CAUSED MY HEMORRHOIDS TO FLARE HORRIBLY) bleeding itching prolonged pain, fast forward i had my surgery on the 19th I did the prep an enema the night before and one in the morning 2 hours before hospital check in. They gave me tylenol said it should help with the aftermath pain 類 After my surgery was complete i was in so much pain they gave me dilauda(not sure spelled correctly) Did not touch the pain fentnyl helped for all of 10 min i was discharged with percocet. i have never been in so much pain. my first and second poop felt like HARD BALLS OF FIRE which i had to take citric mag and dolcolax to help move me still with extreme pain. i have tried ice sitz baths preperstion h cooling tucks with only minimal relief. ALSO I KEEP THE URGE TO WANT TO STRAIN EACH TIME I USE THE BATHROOM WHY??? (which i am sure has cause something to pop out of place) THIS IS BY FAR THE WORSE PAIN I HAVE FELT IN MY LIFE!!! And i have had 2 children vaginal split from end to end and csection and i will gladly redo either before this surgery!! ANY HELP FOR SOME TYPE OF RELIEF ??

    Im in england for what its worth. i developed piles and a fissure after having a big heart surgery two months ago. That was open heart surgery but a doddle compared to my rear end problems.Paid for a private consultation out of desperation and bless my consultant he offered to get me in on the nhs the same week, had i known what was coming i might have not attended!. Last thursday i had banding x6, a skin tag removed and the fissure debrided. I also had two botox injections to relax the area and help the fissure heal.

    My wife walked me out of the hospital at 1.30. Before i got to our van i was in tears with pain,journey home 20 miles horrendous and the following 36 hours a nightmare. I didnt know what to do with myself,sit,stand,lie down or just sob, it wont leave you alone or go away.

    Since then its subsided mostly until i go to the loo,theres no blood any more but 6,8 hours later it is still very sore. Usually subsides with painkillers (paracetomol) and (ibuprofen) enough to go to sleep,i then start the whole process over the following morning.Days just drift past in pain.Hospital inform me its going to be another 5 days before it subsides,i also think i had a lot more done in one op than is usual. A lot of it is tension and anxiety because you are frightened to go to the loo and it really depresses you.

    My diet is fine with small amount of laxative so im doing all i can. I fully understand all your suffering,its bloody awful and your loved ones cant understand the agony or help you.

    love to you all dealing with this misery.

    hi there i had the same procedure done yesterday and it does not seem right that you are experiencing that level of pain as this is the least non invasive surgical procedure . . I wonder if you should speak to the drs involved in your care. Using a stool softner such as LAXIDO sachets and drinking heaps if water . I wonder if some of the pain relief meds are making you constipated as alot of them do . ive been trying to stick to regular ibuprofen and paracetomol . hope your feeling better soon
