I had 3 internal hemorrhoids banded on the 16th of March. These hemorrhoids have sucked all joy out of my life and and made me terribly anxious.

Day 1 (day of procedure) terrible right feeling down there idea of passing a BM was terrifying as my butt felt like it closed up for business

Day 2- passing BM wasn’t as scary as I thought

Fast forward today is day 6 and my birthday: I’m just depressed, sad all the time and yearning to be normal again. Sometimes the feeling of something still being there gives me panic attacks and I end up screaming into a pillow. I try going to the bathroom and I pass weird blobs of mucus that are lightly stained with blood (not much) and the feeling of something inside be subsides giving me some relief for the rest of the day

I can’t live my life like this, I never used to be like this.

Oh man 😥 if they didn’t allow it for the banding itself, I guess no chance for it on following checkup anuscopys.... 😓

I was told because it was a short outpatient procedure they could not provide a bed and recovery space for me, instead it was reserved for people who are sick and need urgent care. Last time I checked, applying rubber bands inside your rectum was considered a serious procedure!

No anesthesia at all for this?  You can’t request it?

All meaningful returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.

The really funny thing is when I went to consult another doctor about something unrelated, they were quite shocked that I wasn’t given a sedative of any kind. So looks like I I just had the bad luck of going through a bad time

God, I hope so. I wouldn’t wish an anoscopy on my worst enemy. Twice has been absolutely traumatizing for me, it hurts me just way too much.
