Hey guys
Well I'm a week post op now. It's flew!!! I had internal and external haemmeoroids removed , sentinel tag removed , polyps removed and my fissure stitched. I was really optimistic at first with the pain but think the I'V medication must av still been in my system as once it wore off I fellr pain. Not terrible pain. I'd say a 6/10 first couple of days and now at a 2/10 providing I've took my painkillers. Had an increase in bowel movements over the past week but think this is due to taking more fybogel and docusate to keep things soft. I'm going to taper down soon. I won't be coming off them completely though as been advised by my CRs to take these for life so I dont end up in that state again.
I just can't tell you the sheer delight I'm feeling in having no spasms after a BM. Well I was experiencing them pretty much permanently before surgery and they were really getting me down. That constant feeling like you need a BM really got me down. I got to the point were I'd go to work spend the whole day clenching and wishing for home time !!! The relieve now not having them is amazing!!! I think once my butt settles down after surgery I'm going to feel so much better and get my social life back!!!!
Just wondering from any if you who have had surgery how long did you bleed for. I'm still bleeding a bit. Not much to be concerned about. I'm sure it will settle down soon.
Thanks once again for this forum. Don't know how I would have got through the past few months without it!!!
Ginnie xxxx😘
