A little tmi....

[flexilexi394]

But I open my Bowles every day now, which I guess is good, but jesus it hurts afterwards! I cant decide if the skin is burning or it's inside pain, tmi I can't feel any piles, and Incan hardly walk or sit down afterwards!
Is this ok? Or should I see a doc? X

I was the same. I think its all to do with muscle tone. Your bits have had a hell of a pounding, I think it's totally normal to feel discomfort at this early stage xx

It is uncomfortable and tbh I occasionally get a bit of discomfort now - it takes up to 6 months for everything down there to get back into place.

I think if your bleeding with it though (don't know if you are) you should mention it to doc or hv.

I find drinking lots of OJ helps (softens it up a bit).

I get pains too flexi but it's usually before I poo and I can sometimes hardly walk. They really do mess everything up don't they lol

 

[flexilexi394]

Lol yep they do! It's sore more than anything, doesnt bleed or anything, I'll just keep up the pelvic floors x

I still haven't opened mine yet, but it's so uncomfortable I'm dreading it when I do!
Thanks for the heads up on the discomfort front though :/

Get some lactulose on standby hun!it is sore but I found around the time the stitches started to dissolve it was really sore! Also a mix of arnica tablets and hypericum (can get from holland & barrett) apparently promote fast healing!x

Funnily enough, not long after posting that, I went! Woo!
It wasn't too bad, and I'd taken some lactulose as well, so that helped!
Not half as painful as I'd thought, thank goodness! x
