Hello, I had the surgery for 3 internal hemoriods 18 days ago. I have read all the encouraging and horror stories on the blogs. So I think I am probably doing about normal in recovery for the most part. There is something I am searching for an answer to though. I went through the hell of the first 2 weeks .I went back to work 6 days after the surgery even though the pain after a BM was a 6 / 10 everyday. On day 10 and 11 after a BM the pain was not bad at all maybe 4 / 10. On day 12 hell came back with a BM pain of 10 / 10 for 10 hours. Then back to the normal of 6 / 10. On day 16 I thought I was there with a pain level of 2 / 10. Yesterday was day 17 and hell came again with a 10 / 10 for 10 hours. I changed nothing, been drinking lots of water, take stool softness 3 times a day. Why the pain roller coaster? Will I ever get off the pain train? Thanks

    So, one more question if you don’t mind. I am like bloated now, I eat less than I used to because I of course want to minimize the BM. But the problem is that when I go it never seems to be a full evacuation. It appears to be very minimal and I feel like ther should be a lot more. 

    Have you expierenced this? The feeling of it just wont all leave? Is it because the pain stops it or it just doesn’t work like it should yet? I take 3 stool softeners a day and drink lots of water but it still is not soft, any thoughts on how to make it softer would be great. 

    Thank you all for trying to help me through this, this is a rough one.

      Dan, I believe that is "tenesmus" google the term. It's a part of the process as I had it and still feel it from time to time. My new motto is I feel it, I ignore it, and it goes away...eventually! :D
