 Posted: 02/27/07 - 12:06 Post subject: SOOOO PAINFUL! |
  |
|
I had the surgery on 22feb07 and it is the worst pain you can possibly imagine. I have had about ten major surgeries in my 26 years of life, and you cannot imagine the pain that comes with hemroid removal! I can only say that there are no words and no possible number scale that will prepare you for this pain. If I knew this before surgery, I would have KEPT my hemroids gladly! I would rather give birth to quads with no pain medication then go thru this again. My 'roids were bad too. I had several internal that were large and bleeding, and several external from giving birth. Every day I wake during this recovery time, I try to figure out how little food I can get thru the day on b'cause i don't want to give mt body anything to put out on a BM and i'm still going three to four times a day.
Question to others who had the procedure, how many days until it stopped hurting. i'm going one one week and i can't sit on my bum yet!  |

|
|
| I have had them for years I had a colenoscpy to make sure nothing was wrong bebcause of all the bleeding. My GI doc said don't bother with hemorrhoid surgury because it doesn't work and they will come back again. He also said the pain is really bad too. I think ill live with mine. I did notice that some use banding to cut off the blood supply to it I figure this doesn't work all the time. |

| First time, I don't even know what is hemorrhoid, but when I got something hanging outside my rectum, I start my research! It was painful, even when I got off my seat. Now I realize It's my fault. I seldom eat vegetables everyday and I don't drink water that much. I haven't go to doctor yet because I wanna know whether It could heal by itself. My nightmare is that it may take more than 1 month to heal. Please give me some advice. THX. |

| i haev had the hemmeroidectomy only 7 days ago... and le tme tell you! im really ticked off lol.... i found out i had cervical cancer so teh radical hyst was recommended and i thought well ill be in pain anyway might as well kill two birds with one stone...if i had known that the freakin hems would have returned on the 4th day i wouldnt have gone through this while recovering from the hysterectomy. im really just writing to see if anyone has ever heard of the hemmeroids returning not even a week out of it? the pain is horrendous but i am very much a wuss when it comes to pain and its gone from a 9/10 on the pain scale to a 7/10 it still hurts but im recovering... its still not my fav time of the day though...the BM time but anyhoo just wondering if anyone else has heard of them coming back that quickly and they seem bigger and worse... could be the surgery but just making sure... |

" So far Ive only had 2 cans of Campbell's chicken noodle soup. I don't want to eat anything so that I won't have to have a bm until after I am all healed up. I want to only drink chicken broth and fruit juice. What do you recommend...anyone?"
From my experience: Liquidy poos sting more than very squishy poos. The goal is to keep poos soft like the texture of raw, ground beef. Not eating will make your intestines slow down and make you constipated!!
Recomendation: ##1 canned peas, canned beans, mangos (the more fibrous the better), celery, grapefriut/citrus, WATER, WATER, WATER.
Oh, and a heating pad to help the sphincter muscle relax as well as a sitz bath to soak in and clean off. My mantra was "thank god for sitz baths an advil." |

| I am a college student i have been dealing with hemmoroids + anal warts for the past three months, although my doctors insist they arent hemmoroids i know they are and i had a surgery to burn off the warts and WOW the pain i felt from a bm. I consider my pain tolerance pretty high and it damn near brought me to tears. Its been two weeks since the surgery and my perscription of percocet have run out and i was so uncomfortable last night i couldnt sleep untill 8am. This whole experience is the worst thing i have ever dealt with. |

|
|
I just had surgery today for 1 of 3 internal hemmoroids that I didn't even know I had. I went in to have an external hemmoroid removed that feels huge and hurts. After doing some research on line I opted for this new banding technique which supposedly is the least painful. Basically the doctor sucks the hemmoroid into a tube then slides a small elastic band around the base of it. In 48 hours it will (hopefully) just fall off. While there is some discomfort it doesn't seem to be nearly as painful as many of the other sufferers. Might want to check out banding. I went to the Center for Colorectal Health. I'll need to return a couple of more times since they only due 1 at a time.
Good luck. |

|
|
I had surg in August to remove internals (inflammation was annoying at worst) and an external, which was literally acting like a valve down there...sometimes I could go, sometimes not, sometimes kinda. I thought I'd have a two-for-one surgery (had lypoma as well...benign)...and get this little annoyance out of my life.
IF I HAD KNOWN...of the pain during recovery...I would have not had surg.
IF I HAD KNOWN...I would have eaten very little in the days before...I knew a BM would hurt, but man!
IF I HAD KNOWN...they would come back WORSE I would have not had surg.
I was crying every time I even thought of going for at least a week (mind you I have given birth naturally...I'm not a wimp)...I knew it would be painful, but not to the point where with every gas bubble I would break a sweat and uncontrollably whimper in pain (and a scream or two).
Please, if you can live with a minor inconvenience and they do not seem to be getting worse, DO NOT HAVE SURGERY!!! I had mine banded...or so the Dr. says. I know I was cut somewhere b/c of the pain...but I never remember passing anything that would have resembled them.
Surgery can make them worse, and the pain is NOT worth it...for you or your wallet (even w/ insurance)! |

I felt exactly as you for the first week following surgery. On the second week the extreme pain subsided and was replaced with moderate discomfort. I had both good and bad days on week two. And it was depressing because stool was constantly leaking until the end of week four where afterwards I have days with and without leakage.
My body was wracked by the experience and healing was slow, but steady. I'm 54 years-old so that may have something to do with recovery.
I blew off the post surgical follow-up exam with my surgeon. There was no way I was going to let anyone stick anything in my rear. But I'm going to see him next week.
Yesterday (4 weeks post op) I wanted to see for myself what was happening in my rectum so I used an illuminated magnification mirror and was startled to see the scar tissue and still-healing wounds. And I was somewhat alarmed to see a mass of tissue that resembled a hemorrhoid accumulating around my anus. I don't know what he cut out but judging by all the wound and scar tissue he had to cut out something of substance. Also, I don't feel the same protruding mass sticking out like before.
Thank God for narcotics. Percoset and my own personal supply of Vicodin got me through two weeks of pure suffering. Even with the painkillers the pain and discomfort was significant.
The sitz baths and the bidet were lifesavers.
The surgery was followed by four weeks of stool leakage. I was afraid this was never going to end but alas, the last couple days I have been able to dispense with the non-stick gauze I placed against my anus to prevent this most nasty occurrence.
My doctor didn't prepare me for the recovery. I thought I would be on my feet the next afternoon following surgery. Wrong! I was off my feet for two weeks. I spent days and nights on the toilet where I couldn't pass a stool and urinate. While sitting, the pain was so overwhelming I was on the verge of losing consciousness, feeling waves of nausea and the urge to vomit.
All said, the healing has progressed and I'm feeling very good.
The post above makes some good points. Eat as little as possible before surgery because you will pay for it later. Fruit, vegetables, soup and fiber will make life much easier. A soft stool is better than a watery one (which hurt like Hades).
I removed alcohol from my diet. What a difference. Not only did I lose 13 pounds in three weeks, but my bowel movements have become normal for the first time in ten years. And my blood pressure dropped.
Good luck. |
