Drug wise I was on Tramadol, Targin, Endone, a topical cream that had to be applied wearing rubber gloves and some Antibiotics. I had not had a bowel movement for a week and I was not looking forward to the experience that surely would come. I was in extreme pain and was trying to work out a routine with the analgesics and after 24 hours at home I could not pass urine.
There was just no way I could piss - I waited as long as I could before going back to hospital - (Earl would have died of thirst at this stage)
The hospital re-admitted me put in a catheter - relief beyond belief, and gave me a dose of the medication that clears out your bowels. - It did not work therefore I was given a subsequent dose the next day - this worked and I had at least 24 uncontrolled bowel movements over 24 hours. The pain in my ass on a scale of 1-10 was about a 15 - agony. I was shitting 50% blood and 50% faeces.
I still could not pass urine the next day upon removal of the catheter, therefore was sent home with a new catheter. The pain in my ass was excruciating, I was hallucinating with the opiods I was taking. One week later I had the catheter removed - I had started to pass blood in my urine - basically the thing got blocked and it had cut me inside my dick. However all was now good - I could pee normally again. A pain then started when I was pissing and I was diagnosed with a UTI as a result of the catheter. This was cleared by antibiotics and I started to recover. It took about 6 weeks to approach normality again.
I am happy to say now all is back to business as usual.
Surgeon could not state cause, my exercise plan and diet I thought were healthy - the the only thing I lacked was fibre!! 30g per day is recommended and it is difficult to get this every day on a normal diet. So yes I take the fibre supplements and I have had no problem with any BM now.
The pain I suffered was the worst I have ever had by a long way, I would certainly not wish it upon my worst enemy (well, hang on, maybe Stroller)
Take your fibre, that itch you get in your ass may just be the internal ones starting. I would further recommend to try any treatment offered as opposed to a full Haemorrhoidectomy.
