My bum is burning. Surgeon said I had 3 but can only removed 2. He said if he take the other one out my anus will shrink and then I will have hard to pass stools. I can’t say much as I’m only on first day so I’ll keep you posted.

    Eat high fibre diet and drink plenty of water. Have you been given something for the pain and also for BM ??

    Hi mcclaine. Exactly the same as me. Had my surgery yesterday. Had grade 4 internal and external. Dr put 8 stitches inside but only took some of the outside ones as they were so big and may cause anal stenosis if he cut all of them out. I'm burning a lot too, but I've had two episodes of sudden diarrhoea, and can't fit an ice pack there as I'm too swollen. I'm also in lots of pain with my sphincter contracting and having spasms. It's nice to find someone at the same stage. Are you in the UK?

      Sorry to hear that. I hope the healing is going smooth for you. Tomorrow marks one week since my surgery and sitting in warm water beforr and after bm works wonders. I’m in the Pacific Islands.
