Is it normal to have worsening pain with BMs after the surgery? I had surgery on Friday, and my first few BMs were painful, but okay. Yesterday and today, each one is excruciating. Afterward I am left in intense pain, shaking and sweating in the bath for half an hour before I can move again. It seems to hurt worse each time. I’m taking colace and Miralax and they are soft, not sure why the pain is so extreme afterward. 

When’s your followup?  What kind of op did you have? @turkrising

Any update? I’m 9 days post op. Yesterday my morning shit was easy and smooth, last night my evening shit was just as smooth but it felt like I was being split open. I have some yellow pus looking discharge today. It doesn’t have a bad smell to it. Idk if this is normal or not. I wish they would have prescribed antibiotics just as a preventative measure.

Sounds par for the course, just need more time
