Post op day 6. Yesterday I started feeling kinda bad, my menstrual is on full gear:(, I've been getting headaches n more gas for some reason. The worst thing/pain is probably my hemorrhoid I developed it is huge, probably the size of a grape outside my .... you know... I'm using creams n medicated wipes but it is hurting so bad. I took stool softener, milk of mag and putting benefiber in my water but its not producing much. Then there is this light headache that developed yesterday, it is in my temples n the top of head and it makes me a little nauseous?/disoriented I guess you could say. I'm nit dehydrated so the only thing I'm thinking is maybe a detox because I didn't have a preop diet. Today started having gas everytime I drink which is also weird but maybe from the fiber? Don't know but hope I get some relief soon.

Wow, poor thing, I am sorry you are having so many issues...all at once. I only had a two day pre op liquid diet and had no headaches at all, you may want to call the doc on that one. As for the rest, in time, they too will get better, just hang in there. Hugs to you!

I'm sorry that you aren't feeling well!!! Feel better soon!

I am sorry. Prob time will be the best for you. It is ok to have a bad day now and then. Find a great movie that will make you laugh. Call a good friend or go sit out in the sun for a bit. Know that tomorrow will be better. Good luck!

Aww, I'm so sorry for you You sound just miserable. Something that helps me is lying back in a nice extra warm bath by candle light. Staying off your feet helps the behind area. Also the low light and warmth of the bath might help the headache.

Girlfriend, time to relax. Use this time, especially if you are off work, to do absolutely nothing. Try sipping on water, try to walk to move the gas, run your belly to help with gas...this too shall pass (pardon the pun) lol

At day 6 you might lay off the stool softener. There is nothing there. You aren't eating. It feels like you need to go but it's likely just gas. Walk walk walk. Best thing. And hang in there, it will get better.

thanks for the well wishes! I am feeling so much better now! My dumb computer wouldn't let me reply back to this post! I wish i could take a bath but I still have my steri-strips so bath time next week i think. My headaches are still come and go but not as bad, my OTHER problem has went from a grape to a pea so I am soooooooooo very thankful for that! Hope you guys are doing well!
