    If it's bright red it's not a worry. Be sure and take a stool softener or something. That's hard on you to get constipated enough to bleed. You may have some intense itching in the next day or two while the hemmroid or tear heals... Witch hazel helps a lot.

    Yes, very common after pain meds is constipation...if it is bright red, usually nothing to worry about, need a stool softener, but obviously I'm not a doc! If its a dark red, that could mean internal and call your doc right away.

    Today is one week for me today! I havent had a BM yet and dont feel contispated at all. Should I? Almost had to go to ER second day home becasue I could only drink 4 oz of water and was getting dehydrated. But it feels so good not to be hungry. My son had a pizza on Saturday and I kept thinking damn I want a piece but then thought why your not hungry, That passed quickly and I was fine. I'm sure i'll have many more days like that.
