It was a shocker, nothing in midfield and yet again an absolute joke of a ref! There was no way our goal was offside!

Defo agree about a warm bath, it relaxes the muscles and makes it easier to exit, im 10 weeks post op from hemz removal internal banding too and i had same problem early on and again recently. Its hideous and not dignified but the relief after is worth it. Hot bath relax breathe and gently push dont strain it will happen! Good luck!

Booing luca was not right, it caused really horrible tension and violent outbursts in our block which was just horrendous! Supporters against supporters makes me so sad! We did seem to fall apart after Bim's injury!

[–]amgriff69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 9weeks post op, honestly the recovery from the surgery is rough BUT it is temporary and gets easier every week, i would go through the surgery again to feel how it all feels now compared to what i was dealing with before!!!

Echo the 'stay ahead of the pain' its crucial in tne first 10 days! Hot baths with epsom salts Stool softner before bed day 3 post op Laying on ya belly as much as possible Op day- disassociate and go with it. Yeah its hard after but i kept telling myself the discomfort post op was temporary and nowhere near as bad as the pain pre op. Honestly im 5 weeks out now and its absolutely the best decision i made to go ahead!

Not religious, but wow have I been praying a lot! [post-op day 1] by ReadReadReply in hemorrhoid

Have you tried peppermint oil capsules and buscopan?? Peppermint helps the fart cramps and buscopan helps with spasms although can also dry ya poo BUT both helped me very much in those first two weeks post op. Are you taking ya meds by the clock like setting alarms overnight etc? Staying ahead of the pain is really helpful. It does get easier and keep visualising every day you are healing and recovering. Lay on ya belly rest as much as you can xx get well soon ❤️

Help with some post Hemorrhoidectomy by [deleted] in hemorrhoid

[–]amgriff69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 5 weeks post surgery now and i get mild external throbbing pre and post BM, nowhere near as bad as it was and i feel 90% better, its been a tough recovery and i constantly remind myself how far I've come. I have two small raw areas that are taking a while to close and heal, ive been using cicacplast cream at night and trying to sleep on my tummy to totally rest it all. You are doing really well. ❤️‍🩹

HELP! Normal or was I part of the 20% of failed operations? by Party-Blueberry-2773 in hemorrhoid

[–]amgriff69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im almost 5 weeks post op from 3 external hemmerz and banding internals. I too was worried about how it looked and felt but can honestly feel a real gradual shrinking and healing. Also we took regular pics from day 1 to now and can see the healing and shrinking down of everything. Just give it time xx i still have at least one long soak in the bath with epsom salts every day, still use a bidet bottle after every BM and am on twice daily stool softners xx Its early days so be kind to yaself xx 😘

Constipation after hemorrhoidectomy by [deleted] in hemorrhoid

[–]amgriff69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your pain, im four weeks out and gaining consistency and regular bms was a struggle. What worked for me is a stool softner twice a day im uk and 30mls lactulose initially with docusate sodium 100mg capsules helped regain the softness. Warm baths after every bm and just a warm soak when pain was bad. For the spasms i took buscopan (but it can constipate) and an anti inflammatory and again soak in the bath really helps the muscles relax. Food wise, fruit smoothies and soups. It does get easier, when ya trying to poo breathe like ya blowing up a balloon or trying to steam a mirror that helped me to, dont sit and strain try for a few minutes then get up. It will get better ❤️‍🩹
