Pain... I've learnt about pain

Several years ago I broke my back.
I thought this was the tike I found out about my limits with pain.

Untill the last 48 hours.

I had hemmaroidal tissue reduction surgery, along with other bigger bits in the same region.
The hours after the procedure were reasonable.

But last night, wow.

I had to "expel" the gauze that was left internally as is expected.

But the build up to this was worse than when I broke my back. The agonising pain and pressure was something I wish never to repeat. My wife was terrified due to my wailing as it was happening. I thought my insides were ripping apart and trying to escape like an Alien chest burster, but trying to evacuate from my bowels.

As soon as it happened the torrent of black liquid that followed was like a volcano erupted from within, covering the toilet and myself. Collapsed on the floor I felt relief. But then the burning started. As if I had rubbed a ghost chilli upon my anus.

Every time I empty my bowels since (about once and hour), is like chillies expelling themselves in search for a better life.

I have to take seriously strong laxatives to ensure damage to the bowl is reduced. Causing stomach acid to ensure its way to the back passage.

I'm unsure how to go on. How muchonger will this pain continue? Internet says weeks.
I can't do it...although I must.

:(

Just a thought, but could the doctor not temporarily prescribe something like Omeprazole to lower your stomach acid thus reducing the burning?

If not, try a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda with water every few hours. I take it for heartburn as it neutralizes acid as well, so in theory it should help.

Hope you feel better soon!
Thank you.
I'll do that
 
Don't you have an annoying neighbour with an easy to reach letterbox that you could use, so the pain you feel whilst pooping gets mixed with the joy you get from your poop-filled revenge leading to a neutral experience overall? :D
If I fancied running down the street but naked whilst holding a aloe Vera wet wipe upon my anus.... I'd do that to one household I can think of :eek:
 
Hopefully you get some help. Fingers crossed and buttox clenched! :p
Unfortunately they told me to go to A&E, strongest thing they can have prescribed is codeine. Unfortunately I cannot take that as it causes constipation. Which would be a nightmare with what's happening with me.

So its to A&E who can hit me with tramadol or other...

But...

I can't even get dressed...
 
I bought some cream from amazon. They just delivered it.
It's pretty much a local anastetic.

It's... Made my bum hole numb, as long as I don't move or clench.

I just worry it will wear off in 5 mins.
 
@Diagro wishing you a speedy recovery, sounds like you're having a nightmare of a time. I hope Monday your GP can sort out some better pain management for you.

The worst pain I've had is what I'm going through now (which doesn't sound anywhere near as horrific as what everyone else has mentioned); I have shingles in the face/head and around the eye. Although as this started over 3 weeks ago the antivirals have shifted a lot of the rash but boy the nerve pain in the face, behind the eye, around the ear have been horrendous. I've had constant generalised pain & then ice pick stabbing pain. All the glands on the right side of my neck in week one were swollen & I couldn't touch the right side of my head or neck. Took a little while to get the right pain management, started with the normal stuff but then had to shift to codeine, paracetamol, ibuprofen & amitriptyline. Swapped from codeine after the first week to tramadol, currently trying to step down some of the other pain killers. :(

Wow dude.
I feel for you. That sounds horrible.
I hope you feel better soon.
 
Ouch!! How does your butt hole fall out to the point it needs an operation??

Porn industry? Massive butt plugs?

Genuinely curious so I can avoid!!

Really hope you get better soon.

Well, as a younger man, I used to take far too long on the loo. Reading online comics and the like. After all Internet enabled phones were reaching the market.

Over time. This caused simple hemaroidal issues. Delt with with iceing.

Over time these episodes increased to several per year. Each time stretching the tissue around the rectum and inside too.

Ignoring medical advice on proper toilet etiquette continued.

Lead to total prolapse of hemmaroidal tissue each time I used the loo, I physically had to push it back in after each bowl movement.

Then it started to bleed. An estimated 100ml per bowl movement. Sometimes more. Leading to a low blood count and sometimes low blood pressure.

This is the second attempt at fixing the issue. Which included a few procedures at once.
Yea.. Bleeding has pretty much stopped.
The prolapse effect has stopped (they Stiched it all up). But this pain and burning At this moment I can say it wasn't worth it.

I'm sure in a week or two, it will have stopped, and my rectal tissues will have recovered. But for now. FML
 
Jeez sitting on the thrown is sometimes the only peace I get... Are you saying my ring is about to drop out? :o
No, don't get too worried.

But, if you sit for too long, the blood ends up just sitting in the hemmaroidal tissues for too long. Too long = blood clots. Blood clots = hemmoroids.

If you still ignore the issue... It can become a full on total prolapse of hemmaroidal tissues.

I was an idiot. I'm sure you are all not.
 
One positive from all this.

I was weighed at the hospital prior to surgery. I was 15st 4lbs.

I weighed myself at home...
Less than a week later I'm. 14st 9lbs.

Im unsure of its fat I've lost or muscle mass as I haven't really moved much in days
