    so so glad my experience isn't strange. I've been icing since the surgery almost all day. The baths never helped with the ice does. have a vacation scheduled in two months so I'm just concerned since I will be in a wheelchair and there are bumpy areas.

    this this is also just surgery number one for me. my surgeon told me I was going to need more than one surgery. and my hemorrhoids are worse after the first year surgery.
