Its not as bad as many of the other posters.
Well, I just had my small thrombosed external hemorrhoid excised (scapel), today. Its been about 5 hours since the surgery and I have not needed pain killers. Maybe its because I have felt much worse pain during my knee surgeries and having the stitches removed from my knee. Picture one long stitch being pulled from the inside of your skin for 5 minutes. That's pain. Removing this hemorrhoid was a bit painful when the novacaine was shot in my butt but nothing compared to knee surgeries and stitches removal.
I do have a mild to medium uncomfortable feeling down there but nothing that I haven't been able to deal with. So far so good.
I decided to have the surgery because I am a very active 43yr old male with a wife and 5yr old daughter. I was not going to put my activities on hold for too much longer.
It's now Saturday around 1pm. I wasn't looking forward to the morning since I'm usually regular in the mornings. Well, the actual pooping part wasn't painful at all but the after affects was a bit painful. I quickly prepared a sitz bath and most pain was relieved. For the past month I've increased my fiber intake so i did have loose stools. I made it to my daughter's first soccer practice and sat in my folding chair for most of the practice. I was a little uncomfortable but nothing that I couldn't handle. Also, I still have not needed any pain meds that I was prescribed. So far I think I have had mild to on occasion medium discomfort.
Its now Monday afternoon. I went to work for a half day and I still did not use pain killers. It is still a bit uncomfortable but nothing that I cannot manage.
I will check back in the coming days to report on the progress.
