Had pile surgery 6 days ago pain is really bad after a bowel movement need to strain as i have diverticlitis in mybowel anything i do dosent help any ideals
How can i return to work in this state
Hi tracie, unfortunately this op needs a long recovery which the docs are not very good at explaining (probably cos nobody would go through with it if they knew). I was signed off for a month and I needed every day of it. I started to feel a bit human again around day 14. You’ve still got a lot of healing to do. I too have diverticula disease. I have to strain if I don’t take my stool softeners, so make sure you take these regularly and lots of water to drink. You will feel better but 6 days is very early, you shouldn’t even think of going back to work. Go get a sick note if you need one.
Hi I had grade four and had all three cut out. I was given lactulose and fybogel for my BM. It was also sore for me. I drank plenty of water which helps. For the pain I was given paracetamol and dihydrocodeine . It does get better. I took a bath after each BM.
Hi Tracie, I am on day 5 after my op and I feel like I've been in pain forever, I'm a 38 year old mum of 3 and I feel like I can't do anything, I just want to get out of the house and back to work now but I work with children who have very challenging behaviours so it would be unsafe at the moment 😣
