Hemorrhoidectomy Recovery Time

I am a 41 year-old male who just had one external hemorrhoid removed, done by a great surgeon here in Tucson, AZ. I am extremely healthy and ripped, work-out everyday, and eat a great diet. Unfortunately, I have had one external hemorrhoid, which I have managed to keep at bay, my whole life, since the ages of 10 to 17 growing-up in Philadelphia eating nothing but pizza, cheese steaks and other fast-food which would leave me on the toilet almost every night after waking-up with abdominal pains from the dinner I ate that night. I was working-out in my garage which I converted into a gym listening to some heavy-metal and 80's glam metal doing deep-squats when I realized that I just did something which made my external hemorrhoid pop out for good and really hurt! The doctor said I needed surgery, which didn't sound good! Anyways, after the long-acting pain injection wore-off after the first evening, the pain increased! I couldn't pee for the first day unless I stood there and just let it drip now and then which took about 1/2 hour. Started taking oxycontin as prescribed 5/325mg every 4 hours as needed. They worked great. The doctor also prescribed me some Generlac laxative/stool softener which worked, but gave me terrible gas! The doctor also gave me a tube of cream/gel with 5% Lidocaine, that I swear did nothing beside help make my underwear even more stained with stuff! The pain would get worse as the pain meds wore-off, which constipated me. I constantly felt like I had to poop. I couldn't distinguish the pain around my butt-hole from the sensation of having to poop. When I did poop, it hurt so bad! Wiping myself was completely out of the question! I would hobble to the shower where I would let hot water dribble-down my backside and ass crack and cup my hand there. Even water dribbling-down over my butt-hole hurt so bad and burned! I Have one of those hose things atatched to my shower, but water spraying lightly directly on my butt-hole was too much pain to stand! I repeated this several times a day for the first 7 - 10 days. I am a hygiene freak and felt dirty for 3 weeks! I hated not being able to clean properly! My underwear constantly had residue in them from blood and poop, regardless of how well I tried to clean. I had to stop the pain pills due to the constipation which they caused. The harder the poop, the worse the pain! I hated eating anything, because I knew, whatever went-in, had to come-out! I took acetominophen instead of pain-pills (which barely worked), as ibuprofen and Naproxin (Aleve) are blood-thinners and promote bleeding which happened anyhow, during every bowl movement! I took some laxative pills (7) bisocodyl pills a few times just to feel like I went completely. They give abdominal pain and I hated using them. They left me empty, but at what cost!? Constant trips to the toilet which I would leave looking dirtier than a New York subway toilet after rush hour! I was in so much pain I couldn't even attempt to clean-up until after a trip to a hot shower.The pain and bleeding got a tiny bit less as each day passed; after 2 - 3 weeks I was 90% better. The pain was about a 8 or 9 on a 10 scale after every partial bowl movement for the first week and a half. I am now doing much better as you will be too! Just hang-in there! It will all be worth it in the end!The whole process sucked, but in the end will be better than living with hemorrhoids! I am now back to normal and gonna go listen to Ratt in garage gym, while avoiding deep squats!
