New here but been a lurker for a little while. 6 months suffering from a CAF. Day 4 post LIS so still early days—had an LIS and a polyp removed with stiches (the surgeon didnt anticipate the polyp).
Though i still much prefer the consistency here, every morning I have had the urge to go, the pain when passing a BM is excruciating (Im talking shouting and tears, some of the worst among many terrible BMs Ive had on this road) followed by a ten minute come down period during the sitz bath and then just mild discomfort for a while. Obviously this creates some major anxiety when going to the toilet, but somehow I still prefer it to the sharp spasms that lasted for hours from pre-surgery BMs. I also have less and less blood, but more puss? Puss is normal right?
I know everyones experience is different but anyone ever heard of such intense pain from BMs, and then just mild discomfort? I thought perhaps it had to do with the stitches more than the LIS.
Thank you and godspeed to all those recovered and recovering from AF. I cant wait to resume normal life again
