Yikes! Prayers sent.
Sounds like a trip to The Museum of Hemorrhoidectomy.

And rubber bands. Don’t forget the tiny rubber bands.

I’m on my 1st week after surgery.
It’s getting better but Still excruciating pain after pooping for at least 2-3 hrs, pain goes away then repeat cycle.
On clear fluid/ soup / fruit diet.
Worst experience I’ve ever had in terms of pain.
This surgery is brutal.

thrombosed hemorrhoid

Incredibly painful. It's like a giant blood clot that is sensitive as frick (to sit, to shite, to wipe, to walk)

when my Doctor lanced it, the pain went away

Yep. I heard it. He showed me the "clot." It was about the size of my little toe.

Sitz baths and wiping with antiseptic lotion for a week and I was good.

Of course, this all happened as I was preparing to literally sit for the bar exam.

I was talking to the surgeon asking him for which state-of-the-art instrumentation he’ll be using. He said just his knives and scalpel
