I just finished my 4th rubber band surgery 22 days ago. I underwent one surgery every month since july. I am wondering when i can expect to be pain free. 29yr male 160lb and overall healthy. i had multiple severe internal hemorrhoids that were causing a lot of bleeding, incontinence and pain prior to surgery. the first and second RBLs were extremely painful in the initial weeks afterwards. i found pain is best managed with tylenol (before Bm), warm showers and short non streneous Bms. fiber and healthy diet have also helped (i think).. i have noticed improvement in bms and pain but i still feel very "sore" for lack of a better word. usually a burning pain that lasts hours or all day sometimes. pain starts 1-2 hours after BM. seems to be worse when i have multiple Bms in a day or do not hydrate enough. im wondering when i can expect this pain to go away / if i should be concerned? given that its now 4 months since my first surgery it feels like this will last forever. im trying to focus on the positives but im not sure as the soreness seems to be the same as after initial surgery, or worse? its hard to distinquish between soreness pain and the pain from existing hemorrhoids. now i am considered "hemorrhoid free" and incontinence has improved but... im still concerned about the soreness. this forum is the only place i know to ask people who may have a similar experience to me. thanks for any shared advice!
Have Hemmerectomy performed and be rid of hems once and for all..
I am not sure about the rubber band procedure. I am almost 5 weeks post op but mi e were cut out. I’m still sore after BMs and there is still swelling. people have posted healing times ranging from 3 weeks to 5 months. I would definitely recommend seeing your doctor/surgeon if the pain is consistent and unbearable! I have been back to my doctor at least 3 times in the last fee weeks. use salted seits baths also! great help! hope this was helpful and please update!
Sorry to hear anyone suffering that pain. Hope your recovery is improving. I have felt better the last week or so +. BM passing easy and painless. Minimal straining and much no leakage after. Ive felt blessed.
Im a bit worried now, after a toilet bowl full of bright red blood this morning. So far no pain really, just paranoia seeing that! Bad memories and not sure what it means.. will follow up with doctor next week but who knows with these things!
