Haemorrhoidectomy Hell
Posted , 7 users are following.
I had grade 4 haemorrhoids and skin tags removed Thursday & wish I hadn't had it done! I've never experienced pain like it and that's saying something concidering I've had many ops before that were alot more major! The pain I can't even describe apart from the extreme burning! All I was given was paracetamol and ibruprofen that haven't even touched it and lactalose. Going to go Drs tomorrow as can't go on like this! When I open my bowels I'm literally crying with the pain and it's the smallest of poos I've seen come out of me! I shower my bottom after and warm bath if fiancé home but it's only a short fix. Anyone help me? I'll take any suggestions xx

Hey gamma I guessing I'm experience the samething. Every time I had a BM it hurts well it's just irrated I have to take pills for the pain well be like 5 . On Wednesday I'm going to see my doctor I'm praying for minor situations so I can get back to my life. Cause im tired taking pills. So if anyone have the similar pain after bm please let me.

My pain in consistent them worsens when I have a bm which still are the smallest in the world but hurt like hell and burns soooo much. Got some bits from my dr today as it's highly infected, I'm now on Jo I'm now on: lactalose, movicol, instillagel, metronidazole, rectogestic rectal ointment, tramadol, paracetamol and naproxen
I just hope it eases soon as I've had enough and exhausted and the op was only 5 days ago

I'm now on day 8 of recovery and still in as much pain as I was a week ago it's really getting me down, hot baths only temporarily help, I wish I could just lie sideways in the bath 24/7! I'm debating wether to see if my gp can give me anymore pain relief as this is sheer hell

Definately get some non constipating pain meds but it’s just time that will heal you hun.
I thought I’d never get there but it does get better. I promise you that.
Just hang in there. Ur doing all the right things. This is the worst op to have so we’re all survivors
Xx

What gets me is the surgeon said I'd only need 2 weeks off work, there's no way I'll b going back in 6 days, my gp has said it won't be before new year & that was without the horrible infection I have! Not sure what other pain meds he will suggest as already on naproxen, paracetamol and tram afoul alongside lactalose movicol and antibiotics xx

Surgeons always say 2-3 weeks. They have clearly not had this op themselves....
It’ll take longer
Can you get paid for more time off??

I will only get statutory sick pay which is not a lot, it's about £70 a week I think. I won't be rushing back as I'm a carer and bar maid x

I've noticed a little lump on my hole is this normal or a new Haemorrhoid? I'm not straining when I have a bm I'm taking movicol and lactalose? I'm still in alot of pain too and fed up

I felt the same little bump and thought it was a new hem. The doc told me it was just swelling from the surgery. That sometimes once they cut off the veins because it's been backup the blood rushes where it can.
As for the pain I swear it gets better. The first 12 days I thought , if this is my new normal I don't want to live. But sudden on day 13, it wasn't so bad. I'm now exactly 1 month post op today. And I took my first poop today without needing to get in a bath tub directly after it. And I finally have almost no swelling. I promise it will get better.

If u don't mind me asking did u open ur bowels several times a day? Before op I would go at night before bed and occasionally in the day but since op I go 3-4 times a day but all very small? Think this isn't helping my pain or recovery x
