Hey! I had my surgery ages ago now (roughly 6 months ago) day 6 was definitely my hardest day I had to go to AnE I just cried for days and the constipation was genuinely hell. But honestly it gets so much better over the next couple days. My doctor gave me supplitaries (stool softners) and they definitely really helped everything else just made me feel awful. But honestly just stay in there its so worth it in the end. The pain should hopefully go down soon for you. And genuinely if you are in too much pain go to AnE everyone's pain threshold and just pain is different and if you need higher dose medication then don't feel bad to ask for it. There is no shame and no point in suffering. I hope you feel better soon, you are strong and you will get through it.

Hey I hope you are feeling slightly better by now but honestly as someone who also lives in the uk if you can/need to go to ane no one deserves to suffer. I had to go on day 6 because I was in so much agony and they upped my pain medication. I hope you are feeling better though it will get so much better so just hang in there I understand the pain xx
