3 weeks ago i had 4 internals banded the first week was great and i could go toilet for the first time without pain. However during week 2 i had a dry stool that was easy to pass but felt like it tore me up inside.

Now im having daily pain with every bowel movement. I had to leave early from work due to the pain. I went to the doctor and they said they saw nothing wrong but there could be something deep inside. The prescibed me lidocaine 5% to use 30 mins before going toilet buy due to the pain my anus is so tight i could only apply it outside.

My surgeon follow up appointment is in 3 weeks and im not sure how im going to cope. The stools also have a hard tip slightly despite drinking 3.2 litres everyday and miralax 17 grams. Taking sitz bath with salt 2 times a day. Getting fiber. I started today applying vaseline and could feel the sharp pain when applying it inside the anus.

I have some rectogesic that i used for a fissure but not sure if its okay for internal hemorroids. I feel like i just need the anus to relax to increase blood flow.

So i had banding done for 4 internal hemorroid about 12 days ago. Unfortunately i did not know trapped gas from lentils was going to be an issue and had to strain 7 hours after the banding on the toilet to have a small bowel movement and let the gas come out. Im worried that straining so soon after the banding might have dislodged it.

Are there any signs that a band might have come off too soon? I had minor drops of blood on the toilet paper the next day.
