I had hemmohoids surgically removed on Friday the 28th of October.  I am on a laxative and a stool softener and hydromorphone every 4 hours.  I have a lot of pain and I find it very painful when I have a bowel movement.  I also find in the morning when I get up I have a very difficult time to urinate unless I raise myself a little above the toilet seat.  Is this normal?  I also have a Sitz bath 2 or 3 times a day.  I cleanse myself with Cottonelle wipes.  Has anyone else come across this problem?  Oh yes could I use Tucks pads to ease the pain?
