Anyone have infor about this? I've been taking the pain pills I was prescribed by my doctor but this do not relieve the pain. Any suggestion on the cause of this? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Just wanted to welcome you!!
""7 days"" -- good grief -- that's way too soon to be feeling top-notch again
Any kind of surgery is an assault on the body. Sounds like what you've been through is "major league".
Have you tried sitting on pillows or on a "donut" (that's a round, inflatable 'thingy" that was designed for (I think) hemorrhoid pain, but it might help for "pain in the tail end" (
donut cushion).
I remember I went back to work about 4 days after 8-hour laser surgery for endometriosis. I rode the bus to work and almost passed out from the pain. My doctor said "what the heck were you doing on the bus -- way too soon for that".
Same for you, sugar -- give yourself time to heal. Hugs (and welcome).
