Pile banding

Had it done today. Wasn't expecting it. I was called back to discuss colonscopy results. She asked if I wanted banding..I said yes. Then she said, ok pop up on the couch. Won't take long.
Procedure itself didn't hurt but my God I feel so crampy ans that a lorry has reversed itself up my arse. I've taken pain killers amd had a warm bath. When will I get more comfortable. Im feeling very sorry for myself atm and feel really sick

I’ve had it done, but at the same time as a colonoscopy, so I was away with the fairies for the banding part. I really recognize the “lorry driven up arse” feeling though. I made DH dig out a hot water bottle which I parked between my cheeks and took regular paracetamol and ibuprofen. (I’d avoid anything stronger like codeine - constipation is not what you need rn!) On the plus side, the pain cleared up quickly and the piles were sorted!
