Hemorrhoids surgery, recovery time and the truth

Posted , 19 users are following.

I had the surgery 4 months ago. Before the operation my surgeon stated that the recovery time will be one to two weeks and I believed it! When two weeks passed and I was still in extreme pain and still running between bed and bathroom, he said the " complete" recovery will take 1 month and what he said about 2 weeks meant the recovery from the "clinical" aspects! One months passed, still pain and discomfort... This time our great lair who seems to be trained to create medical lies said: Oh! Everybody heals differently, for some people a "complete" recovery time can be three months! three months passed and now I'm 4 months and a week PO, cant sit easily, can't stand more than 30 minutes (due to feeling pressure in rectum) , cant work normally (due to weak body and lack of energy), cant eat normally, but still hearing from my butcher: Up to 6 months, in some cases 1 year!!! ... Oh dear God! how are surgeons train in medical colleges to lie with no shame! ....Dear medical butchers! We human beings who are dehumanised under your bloody knives, WE know you're lying! STOP REPEATING LIES! ...

we ordinarily people who know nothing about medicine, present our bodies to you offering money to you to listen to your lies, we know that and you know....! Stop your lies! We know you have to lie to us before a surgery: the recovery time is 1 to 2 weeks, you can resume your normal activities after two weeks.... We know if you do not lie, nobody comes to you to present money and the body and mind to be destroyed by you... ! Yes, for a few dollars, apply the knowledge you have learnt in universities, and the respect you have gained as MDs and surgeons, these titles, yes, respected butchers, abuse the pain patients suffer, to refill your pockets.

    I think it's individual. I had my surgery remove one large internal hemorrhoid on 12th july . its day 25 post op today. I felt really good and back to normal. My pain lvl after surgery for the first few days was 1 /10 only during bowel movements. Other than that more of discomfort i would say. Didn't take any painkiller . only had antibiotics and took one panadol once or twice a day. Had metamucil every night. So far so good and i went back to work on day 11 . Waiting to go back for follow up. But overall it definitely change my life. I'm back to normal !

    I'm 3 months post op and eventually feel normal. The only residual symptom seems to be difficulty differentiating stool from gas. TMI but I pass gas "carefully" now.

    I regret being as physically active post op as I did. I played squash, ran and did whatever I wanted to. In the post op period one seems to be more vulnerable to injury. I suspect when you're subconsciously protecting one part of your body you are less careful with another. Sustained a fairly severe gluteal strain while playing squash, tore my right ACL while jumping out the back of an ambulance 2 weeks later.

    This has not been my year.. No end of pain it seems. First the hemorrhoid now the knee injury. I will survive
