Just had my thrombosed hemorrhoid drained 8 hrs ago and was not prescribed any pain killer or given any advice on how to relieve the pain. any suggestions on how to tough it out until my apt tomorrow afternoon when they change out the dressings?

Wound pain: Draining a hemorrhoid is a surgical procedure that creates a wound. Ibuprofen (adult dose is 400 - 600 mg every 6 hours) is a good first medication. Wet a wash cloth, put in the freezer until cold, apply to wound to reduce bleeding and inflammation. Re-apply cold every hour. Avoid sitting and bearing down. ADD Tylenol (acetaminophen) 650 mg every 6 hours if Adult. Preparation H applied topically.

Tylenol (acetaminophen) : Use extra strength Tylenol (acetaminophen) (500 mg) at breakfast, lunch, dinner and bed time for pain control. Also use stool softeners and try a sitz bath to help relieve discomfort.

Motrin: Then warm Sitz (3-4X/day) baths. Use Kotex as dressing and wear belt backwards
