Hands down Hemorrhoidectomy. No comparison to childbirth (9lbs 3 ozs 21 inches completely natural and 9 lbs 13 ozs 22 inches long 2 weeks overdue), broken bones, nose job, spinal stenosis, 4 degenerating collapsing cervical disks, back surgery, breast surgery. 3 1/2 weeks after procedure could finally drive for 5 minutes without feeling like wound was going to tear open. I'm not talking about bands or anything like that, but actual surgery. Mine will take months to fully recover. Keep in mind that the wound is not always stitched (mine was not and resembles the Grand Canyon), bleeds regularly for weeks and it's in an area that you use whether you like it or not fairly soon after surgery. After a week I was in ER and put on very strong pain killers that just barely took the edge off for maybe 2 hours. It was a very necessary procedure and I'm so happy I went through it now in my 40's because recovery would only be worse as I age. Be prepared, it will take weeks, possibly 3 or more to return to work. Drink LOTS of water and consume LOTS of fiber. Docusate has sodium and I took too many trying to counteract the affects of the pain killers so try a variety of methods to keep BM's gentle. Gallons of Prune Juice... Plenty of sitz baths or just spend as much time horizontal (gravity adds to the pain) and in warm water as possible. Keep the area pristinely clean. Anything less and the already torturous recovery will only be worse.
