I had my banding done on Monday two bands put on two hemoroids, she said she'd double band them because it would work better. Only went to the hospital for my test results, but they said they could sort it directly. Thought it would save me waiting around for an appointment. Wish I'd known, managed to get the rest of the day off work, but was back in on Tuesday as I hadn't booked any time off. I am still in pain, feels like I need a BM all the time but can't go. I've been drinking loads and taking pain killers. Being in the UK didn't have any pain relief given before, during or after the procedure. I've read on-line not to strain when trying for a BM, so I just sit there and try to go without straining. No joy. I feel so sore, having problems going for a wee because it feels like I need a BM and takes twice as long. I work in an office, so I'm sitting almost all day. Only have a shower at home so can't soak in a bath. Any ideas on what I can do to ease this pain and finally go for a BM? Thanks. P.S. I will never opt for this again. I'll put up with the bleeding and pain in future.

Had the banding done five days ago, procedure was painless........ just not comfy to have a probe in the rear. Now I have a constant fullness feeling as if I need to have a bowel movement. Not painful, just uncomfortable.

Hoping it is over soon. Some sites say it falls off in a few days, some say 1-2 weeks. Wonder what is more accurate.

That was the 1st laugh I've had since my banding 4 days ago. Thank you.
It is hell - I had NO idea that it would be this bad.

How glad I was to find this discussion and read through everyone's experiences.  It helps to know that others have experienced the same thing and that you are not alone.

My situation:

I went in for a colonoscopy on Friday 13 November after an initial consultation with a GI Surgeon back in July.  He asked me if my hemorrhoids had been bothering me much and I said no, they had been quite settled.  He then asked if I would like them banded during the procedure.  Well.... very naively (and embarrassingly not having done any research or reading on the topic) I told him to use his best judgement.  I should point out that he seemed like a good man and is a very experienced GI surgeon.

So....I woke up in recovery and he told me that I had four banded, three that I wasn't really aware of and one that would make regular appearances outside my anus as if to say hello and I'm here to cause you embarrassment and pain.  The early signs were good as I was not in any pain (general still wearing off and a local still having effect).  He cautioned me that I would experience some pain and discomfort and they provided me with a bit of information of what to do and what not to do.  

Friday evening - the pain and and pressure grew but was bearable.  Basically it felt like someone had shoved a baseball up my butt but the last thing I wanted to do was to push.  Pain relief consisted of Panadeine Forte (30mg codeine phosphate and 500mg paracetamol) and warm salty baths.  The Panadeine was USELESS but the baths did feel nice while I was in there.

Saturday - I slept restlessly but surprisingly I felt better as the day progressed and I actually went out for dinner.  Perhaps it was the wine, the Panadeine and getting my mind off it, but I felt pretty good.  That is until it STARTED!

Sunday - The pain started to build Saturday night.  When I say pain, it's the worst I have ever felt and it was pretty much continuous.  No position would relieve it, the Panadeine were useless and I was so dreading my first BM but I knew it was imminent.  OMFG, I was in a state of sweaty, panic-filled pain as that relatively small BM felt like it tore its way out of my butt.  I was so worried that I grabbed some toilet paper and pressed it up to my ass as if to keep all my insides from falling out.  I got up unsteadily and looked into the bowl, expecting to see some sort of spiked ball of death.  Instead all I saw was this insignificant little poop and surprisingly no blood.  It was straight into a hot salty bath for about 1 1/2 hours, which relaxed things a bit.  

Sunday was hell.  I kept asking myself what had I done?!?  What kind of stupid mistake had I made?!? I never knew my ass could hurt this much and was it ever going to let up?  Every fart was an excrutiating worry-filled experience and subsequent BMs made me want to scream and cry at the same time.  I think I spent half the day and that night in the tub, on and off, just to get a bit of relief. 

Monday morning I called the clinic first thing.  I wanted reassurance that something wasn't horribly wrong and I needed some real pain killers.  The surgeon listed to my tale (for 10 seconds anyway) apologised (sincerely, I think) saying that he perhaps should have just left them alone.  He reassured me that while what I was experiencing is unusual it is not uncommon (if that makes sense).  Everyone reacts differently and I was one of those lucky ones, just like many of you on this discussion topic. Lucky bloody us!  Anyway, I now had endone (5mg oxycodone hydrochloride) which I hoped would take me to a world of blissful numbness.

Well, despite the endone, yesterday was almost equally as hellish as Sunday.  The endone seemed to take a bit of the edge off but nothing more.  The pain had changed from Friday (intense dull general ache with that baseball up my butt) to an intense burning, sharp, throbbing pain that only really subsided when in the bath.  I started using a hot water bottle when I wasn't in the bath, which did provide a bit of relief (but I was secretly worried if I was doing something bad with all this heat application to my undercarriage... - did I mention that despite drinking tonnes of water, I had stopped urinating sometime on Sunday.  This last little treasure was causing me some worry.  Was I just sweating it all out in the hot baths or was I blocked up and in need of a catheter!!!

Sometime Monday night the endone seemed to start working or the pain started to subside a bit (or both).  Now,don't get me wrong.  In normal circumstances, I would have described the pain as intense and horrible. But, compared to what I was going through, it was definitely an improvement.  Funny how it is all so relative.  I still couldn't sleep without constantly adjusting my position and had two hot baths last night to get me through.

Today - The pain has lessened.  BMs still scare the sh*t out of me (pun definitely intended) and I walk around in anxiety when I feel one coming on, often holding a moist wipe on my ass and waiting until the very last second before sitting down.  Also, I still haven't peed except in the hot bath this morning - so at least I know I still can pee and I'm hoping that a normal standing pee is on the near horizon.  

I think I've got many days left and I'm still very concerned about a full recovery but at least today is better than yesterday, which was a tiny bit better than Sunday.  

Summary to a long tale- know what you could be getting into

- prepare for it (mentally and physically) knowing that you may need some time off work in addition to a weekend

- lots of hot salty baths, especially after BMs

- really try not to strain during a BM although I know that this isn't completely possible.  Use a small footstool in front of your toilet for your feet as it puts you in a better position thank having your feet on the floor and wait until the last moment before sitting down to avoid undue straining and pressure on your delicate area. Then, immediately into a bath to relax.

- I have been using psyllium husk and eating little solid food to try and minimise my BMs

Good luck to everyone

I had banding done 6 days ago. I was told I should be fine in 48 hours. My bowel movements are terrible and now I am having trouble urinating -- and I have never had a problem urinating before. In fact, I would have to say I am in more pain today then I was 2 days after the procedure. If I had to do this again, I would certainly double check all the potential issues before I decided to have hemorrhoid banding.

I had it done 5 days ago also. I do have the same fullness/bloated feeling and I have gone to the toilet to find nothing comes out. I was having some issues with mybowels already the day I had this done, so since there was already inflammation in my bowels I think the procedure has made that worse. I don´t feel any pain, thank goodness. But the fullness in the abdomen is VERY uncomfortable for me. Also when I have a bowel movement I bleed about the same amount as when the hemorrhoids were causing me trouble. I bleed with the first bowel movement though, it seems I don´t with the others (i have been having more than one a day since I am on a diet to promote it and also mild laxatives). Wishing for the bleeding and fullness feeling to be over soon. I wonder how long people had bled and have had that uncomfortable feeling in the abdomen
for.

I had two piles banded with two bands on each pile on the 3rd. First 24 hours where uncomfortable, the feeling I needed to pass BM constantly, lower abdominal pain and fullness and a little discomfort for 3 4 days around my anus. It's now the 14th and my anus is constantly itching like I've got piles and when I pass a BM it's painful and burns afterwards. I actually feel like I've still got piles with the ache in my anus. I have no idea if the bands and piles have dropped off. I've had no bleeding and I've read when you've hand banding you get bleeding after they've dropped off. I'm confused and depressed. Thinking of seeing my GP.

Well, I had my second banding yesterday - first 2 done in August, along with the camera - they were not too bad, but did not cure the Piles that were bugging me, went back yesterday & they did 2 more - I think he has done the ones this time, that were the real problem - but they are a lot more uncomfortable/painful already, than the previous treatment - it seems I will need more done in 3 months too! Fitful nights sleep last night, 2 hours in a chunk, the best I had.
But I will keep you updated - I think Baths, Sitz or normal help, not showers though.
I can confirm, it feels like you want to pee all the time - I think this is just a symptom of the banded piles - I just hope they soon drop off. They have been a problem for me for a long time, so I hope all this stuff is worth while.

I just had 1 of my Hemorrhoids banded today at 10:30. Besides extreme discomfort and visiting the bathroom every few minutes, both of my feet have been discomforting me greatly! It has been 5.5 hours since then and my feet are killing me more than my anus. Still waiting for a call from the doctor, ER visit looks likely in my near future. Please, get a few days off from work if you plan on doing this.

Had a few bands done 3 days ago. First day was hell then by 2nd it seem to get better and then all of the sudden I couldn't urinate anymore. Its been 24h of hell with only a minimum stream of urine coming out despite drinking wate. Anyone else experienced this or any advice. I am worried about it. Also the pain of the bands is building up again.

I had 3 session of banding (in 3 different days with at leats 1 week apart) and a last session of Coagulation with laser. Banding was not a problem at all. Not really painful at the procedure just a sense of fullness. The next day I was usually fine and at the second day perfect. With the laser coagulation on my 4th session another whole story. The session was not painful. I just could feel the heat of every laser shot. Next 2 days were quite ok and I thought problem resolved....wrong....after the 3th day pain begun to set in and worse. 1 week later all my perineal area is in throbbing pain. And I orinate more than 30 times a day. I get only a little relief from Epsom salt baths but I am really worried now that something went wrong this time. I am going this afternoon to my doctor so he check there is not a more serious problem. The fact that I read stories about sepsis has gotten me even more nervous. Hope it all turns well. I am never again going through this.......
