i had a hemmorhoidectomy, fissurectomy, and a sphincherotimy!!! My Gosh, i never knew this much pain existed. Has anyone else had all 3 of these done? I had a large external, 2 internal, and a tag removed. I have 20 plus stitches. If i had known the literal hell i was signing up for i probably wouldn’t have done it. i am so tired and im on soooo much medicine. i just keep praying it gets better from here!
Hi Sonya,
sorry to hear about your surgery, it certainly isn’t pleasant.
I had basically the same done minus the stitches 7 weeks ago and i’m still not healed.
with a bit of luck the pain should begin to ease around the 2 week mark.
I put a post on here about 2 weeks ago titled A Haemorrhoid Story, have a read of that and it may give you a few tips on dealing with your post-surgery recovery.
All the best, and stay positive, you will heal.
Thank you so much. How are you doing now?
still not good. saw the colorectal surgeon yesterday as iv’e still got acute pain and mucus discharge.
Going back in for a colonoscopy in 2 weeks time to try and find the problem.
I hope you’re improving.
i am not and honestly I’m scared. im 9 days in and every day has been hell!
Don’t be scared, you’ve just had major surgery to a very delicate part of your body and unfortunately the healing and recovery process is very painful.
Read all the tips given by people in posts on this site for tips on how to make your recovery a little less painful - starting with warm/hot shallow baths at least 3 times a day.
The first 2 weeks are the worst, so you should start to improve soon.
stay positive and don’t let it get you down.
