Combo thrombosed internal and prolapsed external hemorrhoid
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi all I'm dealing with an extremely painful combination of an internal thrombosed hemorrhoid and an external prolapsed hemorrhoid. Because of the combination they can't do a Lansing in the office and my only option is surgery which I have declined at this time. The pain is excruciating and has been going on for 8 days now. Reading a lot of these posts it seems like the pain of surgery is not worth it if this is to heal in the next few days but my question is how long will this extreme pain go on? The doctor said it should subside after a week and I'm going on 8 days of intense pain where I can't even work. Has anyone else had this experience and how long can I expect this to go on? Is surgery the answer? Or should I wait until I heal and then try banding? Thanks in advance

Firstly, you poor guy - the pain is so bad and totally consuming. Totally hear where you're coming from but i'd say go for the surgery. I read all these posts and almost cancelled my surgery and i'm so glad i didn't. I had my surgery 2 days ago, and they surgically excised the exterior prolapsed ones and did a surgical stapling of the interiors ones. The most painful thing so far has been the gas build up from the lactulose stool softeners. Yes the first bowel movement was painful but it's soft and fast to pass. let's face it though... they're painful when your in the pain you're in now anyway. Having just had the surgery i honestly believe the pain your going through now will be worse than the actual recovery from surgery. The other things is.... you'll be worried when it's going to happen again in the future.. and it will. Bite the bullet, book in, and within a few days you'll be well on the road to permanent recovery. I think i'm one of the lucky ones as it's day 2 and i can walk around way better than i could when i was going through what you're going through now. I totally get that is a scary ballsy decision but people living with the pain of what your doing through now are already strong and able to handle the worst. The blogs and all the reading will put you off (trust me ... i was obsessed with them trying to find a positive glimmer) so that's why i thought i'd share my not-so-bad story with ya as, like i said, day 2 and i'm at home and in way less pain that i was prior. Good luck with whatever choice is right for you at the moment.
