Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history of having diverticular disease, and had two fissures repaired with Botox, 3 hemorrhoids banded, and skin tag removed 3 weeks ago, wants to know how long does it take for recovery as there pain is horrific at times., still feel uncomfortable and feel that something is swollen at times... As per the detailed you have given, there is a possibility of some reason for the pains as all the procedures are actually painless if done in a proper way including removal of the skin tag. Hence I would advise you the following: Get per-rectal digital examination and proctoscopy if pain allows so that the cause of pain can be found and treated accordingly. It take 2- 3 weeks for a good recovery. You need to have Sitz bath before and after passing bowel movements. Mild laxatives to keep the stool soft. Avoid stress and anxiety as these cause the problems to worsen.
