I'm 26 years old and almost 11 days into recovery and I have been having small BM's... 5-8 times per day the past couple of days.  They are very painful, but bearable.  It has started to make my muscles very sore, and I have been feeling like I'm starting to chafe.  I spend most of my days in the bathroom because it will take me around 10-30 mins with taking a bath afterwards and then realizing I need to go more.  Luckily my doctor has given me more pain killers.  When I went in to see her 3 days ago she said I am healing faster than most, and everything looks great.  But it just doesnt seem right.

I've been keeping up on stool softeners, fiber, water and what not.  I even tried to take some laxative they gave me.  They are not hard what so ever,  but they will only come out a little at a time... and no way am I going to push!

Has this happened to anyone else?  or does anyone have any advise?
