Today is day 9 since surgery. I had a follow up this morning. Dr said all looks good. Since then, I have been on and off the toilet all day long. I have gone about 8 times. I feel like I am not done yet!!! I left a message with my doctor but haven't heard back. Is this normal? How do I stop?

Oh no garwha! Going so much must be painful! I'm sorry that I don't have any useful advice to offer, since I haven't had the surgery. But I wonder is it possible that you are taking too much stool softener? I sometimes find that on days when the burning/spasms are bad, I will have multiple BMs and the feeling like I'm not done and I have wondered if the reason I is because my butt won't let me do it all at once.
I'm going to stop speculating now and let the knowledgable people contribute. For now I'll just offer my sympathy

Did u have to do fleet enemas before your appt? Sometimes this causes cramping for me and also very tense before my CRS visit and the come down after usually makes me go. Sorry u r hurting so much, I hope it gets better soon
