Hi all new here.In the last three months i have had cryotherapy combined with Rubber band ligation to remove 3 Hemorrhoids.First 2 went very well but i can't say that for the third...The first attempt seemed fine but 1 month later it flared up and i had to go back for second treatment. Well that lasted about 2 weeks but unfortunately had a second flareup, went to see the surgeaon last week and he told me to take the week off work and see if it will settle down. My Hemorrhoids were borderline grade 3 and 4 so this treatment was no guarantee..It's been 4 days now and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Basically if i move around to much it swells and bulges outside my anus which as u can imagine can get quite painful.I'm just wondering if anyone has ever been in this situation. I'm wondering how long i should wait for what i can see as the inevitable Hemorrhoidectomy which i have already been through 15 yrs ago. I don't want to waste time waiting and wondering to long. I figure it's been almost a month now since the last treatment so you'd figure if it was going to heal it would have by now. The other 2 were fine after this amount of time.Thanks for any and all comments.

lol,Just to continue with my on going nightmare, i went back to the specialist last friday and he decided more treatment(just bandding this time) was in order to clean up the remnants of what was already done.....He applied 3 bands(imho, too many at one time)sent me on my way, and i was basically incapacitated for 2 days. The pain was horrendous. Bands should fall off any day now, feeling better, and of course i'm scheduled to visit the torture chamber again this friday for a follow up. Hopefully all is well and i'll never see his face again. snowbound
