Hi Jonny,
My haemorrhoidectomy was 7 weeks ago today, and I am still recovering. The type of pain you are having is exactly what I experienced. The second and third weeks post-op were just as painful as the first week. My doctor has told me that the pain that you describe is due to the muscle going into spasm. Heat helps it, so have warm baths, showers, or my favourite, sit/lie on a hot water bottle. But pain relief medication does not seem to touch it, and you're right, it lasts for many hours after a BM. Good luck.

The heat dos help, I'm having worm baths but it only relieves the pain wile the water is hot. As soon as I get out it starts all over again. Water bottle dos not help me. Just seen my GP and she thinks I may have a post OP infection and prescribed me some Augmentin and more painkillers (Difein) really hope that works.
I hope you have a good and complete recovery!

The bacteria from your stools may infect any open wounds on your surgical area too... maybe you can apply some ointment when the pain comes after a BM.
