Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Trish Thanks for your advice. I just got through soaking in epsom salts. Have another one? I don't know if I could go through that again!?! Ugh! So far my school has been very understanding. I hope to be back at school on Tuesday. Thanks for your warm response.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 !!! I have wondered how U have been!!! So great to hear from U!! I knew U were moving and teh last school U were in was in a terrible state of health. Hemmoroids are nasty!! Trust me I know. U had a hemmroidectomy?? I have had one and waiting for another, mine came back the nasty devils. Mine will bleed too but stops after about 5 days. Try soaking in Epsom Salts in a warm bath, Tucks medicated pads. Awesome how things turn out huh? Having the secretary finally having someone who understands! Im so happy U were there for her!! School here in ONtario seems to start one week later than some schools in the US but we go longer too until the end of June. Hope ur year is a good one!! Hugs Trish > Wow, Trish!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 This journey began as a benign cyst. Two days prior to surgery I couldn't find the cyst. I told them at pre-op and when I was admitted. I had no idea what would happen with me. I woke up and I knew I had been cut on. I asked the charming nurse what had been done to me. "Don't you know why you are here!" I told her there was a question about these cysts. "I can't tell you anything." When I was coming to I did learn I had had a hemmroidal procedure as the two nurses were discussing me. This has been quite painful. Of course with AIH I have had much more severe pain in the past - so no gripping here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 When I had mine done its wasnt too painful, was uncomfortable but manageable. I compare all my pain thresholds to labour...so far NOTHING has been worse than that. LOL Prior to the first surgery, the doctor did 7 bandings...still no luck, came back...then surgery...5 montsh later came back. When I called her office in the Spring(yes been waiting for a surgery date since Spring 2004), all I said was " Theyre baaacccccccccckkkkkk " . Her secratary knew who I was!! LOL hugs Hope the salts helped Trish > Trish > > Thanks for your advice. I just got through soaking in epsom salts. Have > another one? I don't know if I could go through that again!?! Ugh!
