It depends on what rectal surgery you had. If you are having difficulty controlling your pain, it is best to reach out to your surgeon for guidance.
There are many types of rectal surgery. Hemorrhoid surgery is the worst and most painful but he will survive. Nothing worse than good. Local injections and lidocaine cream is a temporary fix. Should get better over the next four weeks. On the other hand, rectal cancer surgery can be difficult to recover but not quite as painful. Patients typically take Norco 1 to 2 pills a day and don’t exceed more than 4000 mg of Tylenol per day because there’s 325 mg of Tylenol in each Norco. There’s some other types of surgeries people confused with rectal surgery such as anal surgery  and that whole area is very tender and painful. For sure.

Alternate Tylenol with Motrin and walking.
