Iv been fine all day then I start having pain again ! What's that about !
It feels like piles again ! Do you ever feel that ?
I'm so confused right now what is normal and what's not
When I go the loo I feel like I've got hems hanging down! I think it's the contractions after it. B/m's are still painful, but pain afterwards is slightly improving. I just hate all this.
I know how you feel about what's normal & what isn't, I'm not so sure myself these days lol
10 days ago today just saw surgeon 1 hour ago he said everything looked good & it may take 5-6 weeks for swelling & blood seepage to stop yuck
yeah i know how you feel im only at 10 days PO & im ready for all this to be over i would have looked in to other options if i knew this was going to be this painfull & messy
It seems these surgeons are minimising the surgery & recovery time for some reason. I went for advice on a skin tag, told I'd need a hemorroidectomy, it would be painful & I'd need 2/3 weeks off work.
It will be 6wks end of this wk & im still in pain, b/m's are horrendous & I get little warning when I need to go. I feel traumatised by the whole experience & to top it all off, I've got 2 horrible looking skin tags which may need to be surgically removed at a later date!
Not good, if it had been explained properly to me, I would of stayed well alone!!
sorry man that sucks if im still in pain 6 weeks out i know a surgeon who will have some broken fingers
Ha!!
It is quite a long time recovery for this operation!
I can't thought I would be fine after a week but no !
Hope blood stops soon for you
It's almost been 6 weeks post op, still in pain and to top it off.. I think I have more new bulges!
Has anyone gone through constant pain and what looks like new bulges?
Thanks and good luck!
Hi Jo; I'm 2 months post op & been in awful pain when having a b/m. A few days ago I went back on the stool softener & this has helped dramatically!! I've got some bumpy skin tags which apparently is called a 'bridge' & this is normally left & can reduce over time - although mine haven't & are a real nuisance coz I can't wipe properly!
Hi, Carl. How's that so called "bridge" your doctor told you. Just had my procedure for almost 3 weeks and a small skin came out and my surgeon mentioned the bridge but the skin keeps getting larger. I'm scared and want to know if it will really get better in time. Thank you.
Hi, has there been an improvement on the new bulges? I've had my procedure almost 3 weeks now and a new skin came out and getting larger. My doctor said something 'bridge' that it's not a new hemorrhoid but I'm so scared that it is so I may get a 2nd opinion.
Hi
I still have the tag bridge ! I'm 3 months since op ! I'm not sure if I should leave it or go back and ask about removal ! It don't give me any bother though so I don't know what to do !
It's a lot smaller than any of the hens I had !
Xx
Hey Carla
Have you still got them bridges ? I really wanted them all gone by now !
How are the b/ms ? Still having trouble ?
Xxx
Hi 
I've got 2 small(ish) floppy skin pieces. One at the front and one at the back of the butt hole. I hate them. I was told they may reduce, but they haven't in 4 months. I go back to my surgeon in Feb, so I'm going to ask about them then. He did say they could easily be sliced off, I just don't feel 'mentally' ready for more pain down there, so I may wait until after the summer.
B/m have got easier, but still painful coming out and I can never wipe properly so always jump in the shower. I think I might have a small fissure at the inside back, but again I will have to wait and see what the surgeon has to say about it.
How is everyone else doing with their b/m's. It's gone a little quiet, so I take that as a good sign x
I really don't want to think that we have fissure just because we have this "bridge". 
It bothers me too when wiping as it gets a little painful when being touched. Did the doctor say slicing 'em off will be as painful as hemorrhoidectomy?
Hi Carl, I'm 3m post op and it's touch and go.
Some days are ok but others I struggle with pain.. after a bm or just at random. Lots of pain and with a burning sensation. I always have aloe baby wipes with me and I've found that sitz baths help (1c Epsom salt, 50ml witch hazel, 2tbs bicarb, 1 tbs olive oil, lavender & camomile essential oil). I try to shower after a bm as the bulges/skin makes it hard and painful to wipe. Hoping it'll get better otherwise I'll have to get it looked at again! All the best and pls let us know how it goes 🖒🌟
Hi - no the 'bridge' is nothing to do with the fissure. When I go the toilet it's still quite painful & when I've had a look (the best I can), it still looks quite red, so I'm wondering if it's a fissure.
He said to slice of the tags shouldn't be as painful.... there again, he did say it would be 2wks recovery!!!
Yes Jo, my 'tags' make things awkward to clean properly as well. I use toilet wipes, but tend to jump in the shower afterwards as well. Obviously it's difficult to time your b/m's but I've been lucky in only needing to go once when I didn't have access to a shower... & I managed X
It has gone really quiet which is a good sign everyone is healing nicely !
Does the fissures hurt as much as the Hems ? Did you have these b4 op?
Xx
Thanks, Carl. I'm considering asking my surgeon or 2nd opinion to have this removed. You know, it's like it's defeating it's purpose to remove unwanted skin there. I just HOPE, really HOPE this wouldn't be as painful as hemorrhoidectomy. I'm on my 2nd week now and no more pain during BMs (still taking stool softener), only the tag is painful when wiping or too much walking. Xx Thanks for your help guys. I really needed some talks. 😞
