Hi Everyone,
I've already posted quite a bit on this forum. I work a desk job and am seated pretty much for 8 hours. My surgery was on Wednesday and it went well I think. Well I took off tomorrow (Monday) because my butt around the area of the fissurectomy still hurts and seems swollen. When I try to sit down in a chair it hurts very badly, almost like a shooting pain.
Do you think I will be able to go back to work on Tuesday? My doc prescribed me a mix of oxycodone and acetomenaphine 325mg but I have been afraid to take these as he told me they cause constipation which I am terrified of and have not taken in the last two days. What did your doctors recommend you start taking? I want to be able to sit and just do my job.
I just want to feel normal again. I haven't even had a decent bm yet... augh.

ouch... and imagine the shooting pain upon sitting down...wld u be able to work frm home?

Red Rose - keep up the daily regime as far as your diet sweetie.. When you go back, plz take time to get up every so many minutes during the hour each hour so you won't have that much pressure.. God bless you and keep us posted..

Hey guys,
I called my doc today and the office recommended that I wait to return to work until I feel I can sit okay. I think this is good advice. I plan on returning on Wednesday and will definitely get up each hour to move around.
