i posted the other day, i had banding last Thursday so just less than a week. ive had it done 6 times before this one but it was the last try and an easy fix as im due to go on holiday on Sunday. i think all the rubber bands have come off (3), i just have one big pile left that i got told may not drop off due to the size, i had grade 3 piles. im in agony, i cant sleep, i cant eat and im supposed to be boarding a plane on sunday. it's caused so much upset and thinking of cancelling it. ive been to the doctors. they gave me antibiotics, i know its not an infection. can anyone give me hope with their experiences? i feel i cant cope anymore.
I’m really sorry to hear you are suffering. Have you spoken to your doctor? You really need to. I don’t think what you’re experience is normal. At least you may be able to get some pain medications. Praying for you.
I agree that this does not sound normal! is it possible that the pile was at or below the dentate line?
Anal fissure?
just tossing out ideas
If it’s an infection then I hope for you that the antibiotics kick in soon.
Agreed, that you should go back to the doc or get a second opinion. I had 2 separate bandings of 4 piles total and had minor discomfort. This sounds terrible!
