Day 3 and 4 were very hard. When i felt myself have the urge to have a bm i really was pushing hard. It was very painful and only went about halfway. I ended up using half a fleet enema to help me. It definitely helped me go...i went 10 times from day 3 and day 4 and i was in agony.i called the nurse advice line and she told me the enema was making me go so much. So i eased off metamucil that day and started taking ibuprofen instead of the 10mg vicodin i was prescribed to help with the constipation. I was definitely regretting the surgery. My pain level was about a 6 to 7 these days. I used ice packs,sitz baths and remained in cotton underwear or pantiless in hopes that letting my bum breathe would help help the cauterized external hemorrhoids site. I ate oatmeal, soup, granola bar, prunes and an egg these days.
