pain and bleeding 9 weeks after hemorrhoidectomy

I had 3 external ones removed on 23 April 2013. Lanced off with Tear-Drop cut, no stitching. Went home the same day. I was told to take nurofen or paracetamol as it helps reduce swelling, which I did, and told to sit in salted very warm water. Also, one sachet of Movicol daily. I did all this. First bm was 24 hrs post surgery, not too painful. Diet changed and all processed food and carbs taken out. Operation was on a Tuesday and back to work the following Monday. Today is day 9 post surgery. Still have a bit of pain during and immediately afer bm but doesnt last more than 5 mins. Only had minimal bleeding, which has now stopped....but there is a slight yellowish leak which i will show the Dr when i see him for my 2 week check up post op. Other than that, its going well. Dr Philip Middleton was the surgeon if anyone wants to know.

Hi everyone. I may have some advice. I've had hemorrhoids removed three times and thist last instance has left me in the same position as many of you. Four months post op, and I continue to have pain and bleeding from bowel movements. The pain last for hours as well before easing up. Now for my advicee. The following are three treatments options, hopefully your doctor mentioned them to you, or you should find a new one lol.

1. "Colace" - a stoll softener.

This will loosen your stool and prevent tearing of scabs, allowing healing to occur.

2. Nitroglycerin 0.2% ointment - for anal fissures (this was my life saver)

Chronic pain and bleeding following a hemorrhoidectomy may be due to tearing of an anal sphincter. The reflex of tightening up in respone to the pain from passing stool through the sphincter across the healing lesion causes tearing over and over again. Nitroglycerin will help relax the sphincter and prevent this response.  

3. A surgical procedure is also an option. You can be sedated and the physician will use a scope to pinpoint the location of the bleeding tissue and cauterize it.

The one positive I take from all of these posts are that I AM NOT ALONE, I had my first major heamorrhoidectomy on the 28th of Nov 14, my second the fix an infection (fistulotomy or something, had to have an open wound draining for 6 weeks above my anus) and to fix another roid on the 20th of Jan 15.

Let me just say that I have never been in so much pain, yes I fear for my job (no more sick leave left, no more holiday leave left, all used up due to this pain) and I am still in agony every day 24/7, I am a TV cameraman and i cannot stand to shoot an interview for more than 5 minutes (i have to squat to releave the pain). I have bleeding still and am going to the toilet at least 15-20 times a day for little explosions of gas and leakage, a light yellow if not dark blood, also peeing at least the same amount per day, 15-20 times. If I do have a stool it's long and very thin. I have a very numb buttock and leg like another has mentioned, my feet also feel numb like curculation is weak.

I also feel majorly depressed, it's a very metally as well as physically draining pain, constant aching shooting, sharp pain. And like so many of you, My Colon Dr. says "SLOW HEALING", No more pain killers prescribed (even though now is the MOST painful) just the rectogeasic cream which is very expensive for little to no comfort. I have also lost 13+kg in this time and cannot seem to put it back on, a healthy 86kg for a 40yo down to around 73kg.

I have had CT scans, MRI scans, blood, stool and urine tests, a colonoscopy and all sorts of other tests and they say I'm fine. I AM NOT FINE, just like we all say, we are in pain and no-one seems to care, after all its just a little pain in the arse for us is'nt it?. life WAS better WITH Heammorhoids (i suffered for 10-15 years), life IS UNBEARABLE after a heammorhoidectomy or two (don't care about the correct spelling, its caused me enough pain). 

With the hope that someday life will be normal again, thanks and good luck.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Adam.
