Update on day 3 post LIS had first bm this morning & it was painful!! Tried to relax but was actually very scared which probably didn't help me. Stool was soft but it did sting a lot & bleed quite abit as well (I know that's to be expected) anyhow I was really uncomfortable afterwards so I had a bath & tried to relax but 2 hours later it was still hurting (btw I hadn't been in the bath for 2 hours!) so I gave in & took some of the pain killers the hospital had discharged me with (tramadol) I had tried to manage with out taking them cos I was worried about the constipation side effects but as I havnt take them regularly hopefully that won't be a problem. So here I am 3 hours after my first post op bm & just laying down bit scared to move to much in case the pain starts again & also bit scared to eat anything cos right now I can't face the thought of another bm!! On the positive side the pain is different to fissure/spasm that I suffered so badly from before the op so I really hope that that given time to heal it will all settle down ok, maybe I'm just being a bit impatient!!
