Hey tried, day 5 is still early days. It'll start getting easier from now, my Botox kicked in after about 2 weeks, it literally relaxes the upper muscles (for me) and the only pain I'm getting is when the stool passes the fissures.
I don't get that razor blade pain anymore and my pain is around 3/10 at the moment, compared to 9/10 on my day 5.
Don't get discouraged, it'll be a long road but staying positive helps and once you start to see a recovery, it'll start to get better.
Stick to the baths and eventually for me, I didn't need them, the pain post BM was minimal after day 13-14.
Get yourself a pain monitor app and keep track of it all. My next appointment in 3 months post-op which is quite late but the waiting lists in Wales are ridiculous. I guess I've got 3 months to make sure I do everything I can to help heal. If not then its back to Botox I guess.
Chin up,
