7 days post op from a thd, mucopexy and Ella rectum.... and to be honest after having 2 children naturally I would never ever have thought pain would get worse than that.......BUT IT DID!!! saw surgeon half hour before surgery... didn't explain anything just we will decide when we are in theatre... so had an enema... went to the loo not so long after. Then got took into surgery. Woke up 50 minutes later in the most discomfort ever...... got back to the room I sat there for 15 minutes and decided to make myself more comfortable got dressed into my own clothes and go for a wee... couldn't go!!!! Went back to bed and was offered a drink and food. Done.... discharged 3 hours later with antibiotics, paracetamol and ibuprofen. Went home and basically went to sleep. Woke up a couple times during the evening.... eventually went to bed properly about 9pm.... WOKE UP AT 1.30AM IN ABSOLUTE AGONY.... when I say agony I mean on the floor crying for 2 hours.... read the day after about a plug they place inside.... OH... HAD NO IDEA!!! WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT THAT!!!!!!! Over the next few days staggering my painkillers and the use of a hot water bottle became my only resolution... I was crying everyday for the first 4 days then just servere discomfort... HAD first proper bm on day 5.... new type of pain near the base of my spine for 2 days.... now day 7 basically no pain but just had a bm with blood (and not just spots) had read on another forum about blood loss between days 7-14 that they were told from there surgeons but not too sure as I was not told about this detail myself.... i did not see my surgeon after my surgery just discharged and he will see u in 3 months.... very disappointed with the lack of information and post op care I was given
Hope others have had better experiences !!!
