I had mine done 1st Sept 08. 3 days now. All tolerable until I actually tried to have a real BM on the 3rd day.

Ok, so you made it through the first couple of days...becareful with the lax. & colace, you don't want the opposite effect which can be a big setup for infection!! do you have a peribottle?? I don't know if you know what that is, but even a water bottle with a sqirt type device on the end....it is really important to keep yourself clean. I just got over mine (did you read God give me strength?) although there is pressure now moreso than pain, I still get the little bm's. I call them ASSTEROIDS.....also watch your percocet (also consipating)....are you taking a fiber supplement also? so besides the peribottle, get either witch hazel pads/tucks to help with the burning sensation as the healing starts...and A&D ointment helps too. good luck, I'll check back with you later this week....jd
