Terrified
Posted , 6 users are following.
I am having my hemorrhoidectomy in the morning. After reading a lot of stories in different on line forums I am terrified. I have everything ready for recovery taking advice from different people. I expect pain and lots of it. I am 60 years old and in excellent condition so I'm hopeful I can get through this. Wish me luck and ill take any advice anyone has to give.

Oh trust me- it will be worth it!!
It was pure hell for 10 days but after that it's freedom.
Just prepare to soak in the tub as much as possible. Heat will be your best friend. Try and rest as much as possible. Less activity keeps the pain manageable.
Keep your pain meds as close as possible. Take them right before a bowel movement.
I remember after my first movement I jumped in the tub.
I screamed and cried for my husband to bring me pain meds at 0300.
I couldn't even bring myself to walk to the nightstand to grab my own.
However- I have been pain free for so long now!
I'm back at work, going to the gym and doing so much more. I have zero pain.
Good luck! You got this. Worth it.

Thank you for the encouragement. My surgery is in 4 hours and I am bracing for a rough recovery. I hope I am one of the more lucky ones I've read about. Here's to getting to the other side 🥂
