I also just had a hemmroidectomy and am in so much pain during a bm. There is also a fair amount of bleeding. Of course the doctor's office is closed for Christmas . . . or because he doesn't want to hear me yelling. Hopefully this is normal. I also feel like I can't expel everything and it takes a tremendous amount of effort which doesn't seem right to me.

Can you please let me know if this is normal.

Thanks
