I feel so much better this evening. I just got off a three hour train ride and didn’t need the toilet at all. I had been really scared that I needed the toilet and it wasn’t available – no need for that concern.
Let’s see how the night goes. It’s 1045pm and I’m heading to bed with a laxative and 400mg of ibuprofen.
Went to the gym this morning. All good. Read an article suggesting that any pressure you should channel to your core, to your torso, and avoid heavy lifting. I focused on chest with cable rows, back with reverse cable rows, and some arms with seated curls. As I said, all good.
Great night!!! I slept right through and woke this morning by the rain pounding the roof.
I did need the toilet about 15 mins after waking up and managed to clear bowels after three attempts. But – it’s stinging as hell.
That said. I feel much better today.
Good afternoon. I managed some bowel movement and it instantly helped relieve symptoms. I am drinking a lot and it seem to help. Less itching this afternoon; or maybe I am just getting used to the itching, stinging feeling. I feel everything is on the up at the moment.
Went for a run this morning; that went all fine. Got back and felt really ‘full’ tried bowel movement and very little apart from air. I have decided not to push/strain although it is so, so tempting to clear the uncomfortable feeling. Another bath, soothing and after having some brunch I finally had some meaningful bowel movement; nothing major but pleasantly relieving. Stings like hell but it is better than feeling you are going to explode.
Very little blood now – I hope that’s a good sign.
Getting really impatient. I need to be on top of everything on Tuesday and have a busy week ahead of me from then onwards. Grr – backside hurry up and get better please…
Tough night. I feel a sleep just fine but then woke up in a pool of sweat about an hour later really needing the toilet. Went but couldn’t really go but the stinging was bad – badly! I got back to sleep about an hour later. Slept ok, woke up now and I’m back on the pan, some volume but not a lot.
Its the third day after the procedure and almost 6pm. I feel much, much better now and I have a sneaky feeling that at least one of the hemorrhoids have fallen off. I say that after experiencing the stinging feeling earlier and because I feel so much better. Let’s hope it lasts. Still have the fullness feeling but probably since not all five hemorrhoids have left my body just yet…
Went for a 5km run. I was about 5% slower than my usual time as I took it easy; didn’t want to strain myself at all. No pain but felt weird, likely something where shouldn’t be there was in my bottom – exactly as is the case. No blood and no urge to quickly need the bathroom as I had feared. Will be back out tomorrow.
Feel like I am coming back to my normal self. Great!
I had a good night and got up at 5:30am as I needed to pass water; I needed to pee.
I got to the bathroom, sat down and it was clear that I needed more than peeing. It was difficult and accompanied by a stinging feeling. Not sure what is causing it, but being it is now three days since the procedure, I am hoping that it may be the hemorrhoids starting to fall off. I am not sure though. I take comfort in my state changing – thinking ‘no pain no gain’ but who knows.
The stinging was crazy and I was unable to have bowel movement, when it happened it was a low quantity and the stinging got worse. I went to the toilet three times for bowel movement over the next four hours and that’s after trying laxatives, having a double espresso, some prune juice and a full glass of Fybogel – trust me; I REALLY needed the toilet. The stinging has now somewhat subsided after I placed heat on my backside and also just rested in bed – I even managed to snooze a bit, which helped.
I feel better now and is actually about to go for a run. Last time I went running was Wednesday morning before the procedure – its now Saturday and I feel I am ready. Let’s see I might regret it. I don’t think so.
Its now been two days since my surgery. I went into surgery around 9am on Wed; its now Friday 8pm.
I feel a bit constipated tonight. I’ve taken a sachet of Fybogel and judging by previous experience it will soon start getting things moving. On that note, I have learned not to be too keen on bowel movements – there may not be anything there and this afternoon I ended up trying to go, but with very little to go. Don’t strain!
In summary, I feel good and its on the up. Hoping for an even greater day tomorrow, after a hopefully quiet and relaxing night.
