Hi . I’ve heard that it can take several months before you can sit comfortably after an APR. Other members have found a Valley Cushion helpful. I think they can be quite expensive to buy but it might be worth asking your Colorectal Support Nurse if your hospital loans them out?
Hope things start to improve soon
Take care
