Hi, my name is amy, I'm 26 years old and new to this forum.
I'm really upset and worried following my op 3 days ago. I went in for fissurectomy and anal skin tag removal. Following the surgery my Surgeon informed me he performed a rubber band ligation to 3 internal haeamarhoids which I knew nothing about. The pain initially was horrific for the 1st day following surgery. The second day it eased off maybe because I was on top of my painkillers but was not even too uncomfortable when having my bowels open (it's extremely loose). I did notice a rubber band in the toilet once but no haemarrhoid that I noticed (not sure I would know what to look for!) last night and today, the pain once again is excrutiating following very loose bowel movement. Is this normal? And the main thing in really getting myself worked up about is that the skin tag (although it seems slightly smaller) is still there under the fissurectomy sight. I'm so worried that I'm going to have to have more surgery, I can't think of anything else and the pain is awful. Any reasurrance or advice/knowledge would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help,
Very anxious amy
