Pain... I've learnt about pain

Yep that makes a lot of sense, can't believe it's taken me 34 years to realise this.

Also people who have never suffered hemorrhoids are so damn lucky.

I know it's an awkward topic but it really is something i'd not wish upon my worst enemy.... I had them really bad at one point in time. Not sure why. But effectively going to the toilet just re-aggravates them...

What I did was get a syringe and squirt olive oil up my ass. People can make a face/make fun of me sat at their pc im fine with that but by god did it work so well.... did it for a couple weeks 30 mins before going and problem resolved itself. Laxatives didn't help one bit.

Interesting approach.

Was on painkillers and antibiotics for laceration and stitches but passed dark blood.

There’s pain, then pain on pain killers then there is shock - when it all goes cold and you have to be kept warm, your shaking uncontrollably.. the pain doesn’t register.

Having a op to clear the urethra of scar tissue to have a camera passed up.. Was child’s play (even bleeding an inch of coagulated blood into the absorbent undies) didn’t put me into shock like that before.

The first poo on Thursday was cold sweat on floor in shock.

For me it was when both my lungs collapsed at the same time (approximately 25% deflation) which caused a pneumothorax and air gathered around my neck and heart. It happened on a Saturday and I was finally admitted to hospital on the Monday after being repeatedly sent away from AE with bronchitis.

I was living at home at the time and my mum called our gp because barring the several trips to AE I hadn't been able to talk, move or sleep for 48 hours. When he arrived he went mental with the olds for not taking me to hospital lol. When it was explained we'd been about four times he wrote a letter and told to to go back and hand them it. I've honestly never seen a triage nurse move so fast, I was admitted within an hour transferred to the friarage hospital in Northallerton where I spent 5 days on a drip and nill by mouth (for some reason they thought I'd ruptured my asophagus).

The initial pain was insane but it was made considerably worse by the fact I could barely breathe and I would run out of air mid sentence. By the time I was in hospital I couldn't move my head due to the air that was in my neck and chest pain from it around my heart.

Dude.
What did you do to cause it?
 
Today, I decided enough was enough, I stopped taking the laxatives.

To then be bombarded with 5 bouts of shocking liquid poo storms throughout the day.
Causing my arse to become so raw it's now bleeding.

Seriously what the actual heck?

I've adjusted my diet 4 days ago to what the doctor recommends. Cut out everything bad and have drank water only.
Fresh fruit and veg
Some brown bread
Chicken
Rice

Why is my body doing this to me?

*crys into pillow*

Considered juicing for a while, until everything down there heals and can be used without the searing pain? Talking about a proper juicing of veg diet, not just cracking on with a crate of Innocent smoothie for a week.

After a 90 minute nearly passing out loo session a couple of years back (rubbish diet and long working hours) I tried it and it was a revelation.

Edit: I say this as someone who is a proper meat eating carnivore not some mad vegan monk :)

So, smoothies made from veg?

Got any recipes?

How are you doing. Has anything helped?

Are you taking strong painkillers?

Did they not advise you how long until you are healed?

I'm getting by.

I'm using germaloids after a bowl movement to numb the area. Doesn't always work but it's something.
Unfortunately due to a side effect of the procedure.. I can leak a little which adds more burning. Sigh.
It's just keeping on top of it; it's mentally draining.

Painkillers help a little.

My GP said ill most likely feel like I need to make a bowl movement frequently even though I don't. Caused by the swelling. It's also painful. This can last for 3 weeks, or more.
The burning will die down after 2 weeks but that also depends on how well I care for the area, my diet and how many bowl moments per day.
I'm currently down to 3 per day.

Unfortunately it's roughly 2 hours to have a movement and then after care before I'm able to relex again. Then it happens all again a few hours later.

But its definitely a lot more bareable than this time last week.

I've been basically bed ridden for 8 days. Which has caused me to loose over a stone now. Also I get dizzy quickly when standing and doing things.
Small steps.

By the way, I'm sure people here think I'm over sharing. I don't care, it helps me process it.
My wife and I have discussed poo more this past week than we have ever done in out 15 years relationship heh.

I strongly suggest that you should do intermittent fasting.

Skip breakfast and lunch and just hve dinner only same time every night.

That way you only need one laxative per day after dinner and then you should only have one movement a day.

It's going to help it heal quicker and be less painful so a win win.

Just drink water for the rest of the day and plenty of it. You can go a month without food so 1 meal per day normal sized is more than do able.

It's best you share then you can be given the best advice for your situation.

Get well soon.

Oh I ended up ordering a juicer as I was curious and I always liked fresh orange juice, sugar cane juice and carrot juice in India.

I also make my own oat milk and the machine I ordered does this.

Dairy is really bad for the majority of people so I've not had dairy in years. I think you may also need to think about what food causes you issues and pay more attention to your diet.

The juicer I ordered is the Hurom H100. £350 but for oat milk alone I reckon I'll have my money back within 2 years and it comes with a 10 year warranty so it pays for itself.

Thanks dude.

I'll start that fasting thing tomorrow.

I have been looking into juicers until my wife told me we actually have one *face palm*.

I do have plenty of Huel food replacement powder left, used to drink it at work as no time for a real lunch. I'll break out a small portion as a middle "meal" before dinner.
It should also help as it contains a massive amount of fiber.

I've also taken a liking to various veg that I never normally liked. Probably helps that my wife is making me food and is "forcing" me to eat the veg lol.
