I'm four weeks post-op today and am having the worst day yet. I've had occasional days of rectal pain and pressure which has usually meant I need to pass some mucus and once I do, I have relief. Well, today starting around 7am, I have been in constant pain with pressure and can't get any relief. I've tried a couple of times to sit on the toilet and see if I couldn't push out some mucus, and nothing is coming out!! I am miserable. The only thing giving me relief today is sitting on the heating pad. Is this normal??? Has anyone experienced this, and can anyone offer me some advice???? Thanks. Looking for some relief.
