Oh Hopefulbutt I have been following your story and my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry that things are not going well for you. I just wanted to chime in to see if you are doing anything that may combat the diarrhea that antibiotics cause. I take a daily probiotic supplement for good general health and also for IBS but it is apparently very important to take them when you take antibiotics because those meds kill both the good and bad bacteria and this gives you the D. Sorry if you already know that but I just wanted to make sure.
I don't have much other guidance though. I too had a hemorrhoidectomy many years ago and it was hell. the post-BM spasms were insane. Warm baths helped. Are you having painful spasms? If so, would you be able to apply any ointment down there right now (like nitro or nifedipine)? What pain meds are you on? Would you be able to get any ativan or valium to get you through this time?
