So I'm a 24 year old male weighing around 182 and my diet is healthy enough I would say. I got my hemorrhoid from helping a relative lift something very heavy and felt pain in my back for a bit and dealt with it. 2 days later I start having pain around my anus and feel a little bump and think it a pimple or something. It grows as the week continues and I just deal with the pain until it unbearable and I look it up and find I have a hemorrhoid. I also found I have two relatives who also do alot of heavy lifting that had hemorrhoids that had to get some sort of procedure done. So I go to my doctor who confirms I had a large thrombosed hemorrhoids and would need to see a specialist. I'm luckily able to schedule a visit in 2 days due to a cancelation. The specialist tells me I could wait it out longer and see if it goes away or she could cut it out. I told her to cut it out since I've been in crazy pain for 10 days now. And she numbed the area up and cut it out all in around 5-10 minutes. I get up feeling great thinking I'll no longer to deal with intense pain like that again. I ask if I can go to go work the next day and was told I could. I was also told just to take over the counter pain killers. I knew there was gonna be some pain since surgery is almost always gonna hurt for a bit. I drive myself home which was only 15 minutes away and took a nap forgetting to take painkillers. 2 hours later when I woke up, I was in so much damn pain. It hurt more or just about the same as the hemorrhoid , but it was a different kind of pain. Those who describe it razer blades being shoved into butt are correct. I lay in pain for a bit and then got up and started to feel weak, sweaty, and dizzy. I stumbled my way to the bathroom trying to figure out what was happening with me. I pulled out the wedge in my butt from post surgery and started to feel better. I think the wedge was in too tight and was clotting something up. Luckily right after that I was able to produce a bm. Which shocked me because I was told I wouldn't ave that for a day or two. And it wasn't too painful like others have described, although there was some blood. After that I sat in a warm bath which seemed to be the only thing that really gave me any relief. I suffered throughout the day and eventually went to bed. I woke up in the morning around 6am and still in alot pain and went to the bathroom and had another bm. It wasn't too bloody or painful either. I went back to bed after some pain and Tylenol Pm. Day 2 and I was still in pain and there was still alot of what seemed to be fecal discharge and blood from my anus. I would be wiping it alot throughout the day with tucks wipes, which I think helped alot. I also took like 5 warm baths and would 1000mg of Tylenol every 6 hrs. By night the pain had gotten alot better but still was painful. Day 3 - I felt so much better and the pain had reduced by alot to where I could cut back on the painkillers a bit. Oh also I noticed while cleaning down there what felt like another bulge that was kinda hard but didn't hurt. My heart dropped and I thought I had another hemorrhoid and couldn't bear the idea of going through all this again mentally and physically. I called my doctors office and waited for a nurse to call me back. The next 5 hours were the most anxious I've been in my life, and I only recently started getting anxcioty after developing the hemorrhoid. Eventually she called me and tells me it's normal and should just be swelling and if it hurts to come back in and they'll see if it's another hemorrhoid. That was a sign of relief and I was back to thinking normal again. However I didn't really have a decent bm even though I've had a decent amount of food. However I think it may be due to the leakage as well. Also when I have to pee, I really have too pee and now fast walk or run to the bathroom. I've been drinking lots of water, but I usually drink a lot of water and never have had this sudden urge to pee. I'm hoping this isn't a permanent thing. Still also taking warm baths when swelling would pick up. Day 4-6 - I was feeling significantly better and even thought I could go to work, however decided not to since the pain would flair up sometimes and I was still getting leakage of blood and fecal. The pain would flair up the most for me during morning around 5 or 6 am and also from around 4-9 pm. I also switched my tucks wipes to prep h wipes after finding they had probane in them. Still taking warm baths recover but only 2 a day opposed to 5. I've also been having this pain in what seems to be my tailbone and I can't seem to figure out why. Hoping it's something post surgery related. I had my surgery on the 8th of May and plan to return to my office job with a standing desk now on the 20th. I've read alot of horror stories here and thought I'd share one that wasn't too bad.
i had my done and it took them like 20 minutes for my surgry. i woke up and ask the doctor is offical now i,m a pain in the butt he laugh at it.and that afternoon i was sore but okand i did what he told me . and everyday it got better and better i was walking everyday . than it hit the itching it felt good . and 3 days later it stop. and i was getting beter all the time with in 7 weeks i was great and 1 year laterdoing very well
based on what you describe I guess you had the hem lanced, not surgically excised. I have had both and they are different procedures. Lancing pain lasts a couple of days and goes away. Excision is far worse and takes months to fully recover. Neither is pleasant!
