I am 2 days into recovery of external hemorrhoid removal. My biggest issue is that it feels like the ends of one suture are sticking me and causing tremendous pain. I a virtually living in the tub for relief. Narcotics only help a bit on this part of the pain. I sometimes manage to find a resting position where I am not in as much pain.

Swelling is down and almost no bleeding at this point.

I guess my question is, is it possible one suture sticking is  me and causing problems or or is this my imagination and I am experiencing normal pain?

Has anybody run into this issue?
