Hello Everyone,

I have suffered with hems for the last 17 years and stage III - IV for the last 10 years with prolapses but I managed to maintain as much as a normal life as possible with working and training although once every year I would have more serious inflamation and many times I would bleed during weeks on a BM but finally I decided to get a THD which I did 5 days ago.

I am suffering a little bit on these first few days but I am having BM for the last 3 days without bleeding which is great.

The main pain is at the anus level as the ring around is sore and I feel raw so I have been mostly lying in bed. 

There is some oozing bloody liquid coming out but yesterday the doctor checked me (day 4 post op) and said he feels it is healing well and the soreness should start to disappear from today (Day 5 post op).

Today actually I walked a little and shaved LOL (I looked like a cave man) and walking/standing is fine.

My question is, when can I go back into training as running/biking/swimming/weight lifting, logically after the soreness is gone... and when I will start to feel normal again, meaning not feeling this soreness and raw down there?

Thank you so much for your help.
