Anal excision and pain months after surgery. Will pain ever go away?

Anal excision and pain months after surgery. Will pain ever go away?

Hello.  I'm a gay man who has anal warts.   In order to treat them my doctor recommended surgery under anaesthetic.  I had my first surgery about 12 months ago.  I had a lot of pain for a few weeks, but after that it was fine.  I had a recurrence of the warts 6 months later and another surgery was scheduled.  That surgery was completed and it was fairly extensive (a lot of removal).  I had the same amount of pain afterward, but unlike the first surgery I still have pain 4 months later.  The pain is diminished but when I have bowel movements it hurts and receptive sex is completely out of the question. 

My doctor is not terribly forthcoming.  Will this pain ever go away?  Has anyone had a similar experience?  Can you let me know?  Also, should I get a new doctor.  I do like my doctor and feel he has my best interest at heart, but I'm not getting a lot of information from him and I'm not certain if he doesn't want to promise or if there is no answer... Can someone help please?

I really want the pain to go away and I'm worried I'll not be able to have receptive sex or a normal bowel movement again...  Thanks...

I once had genital warts (HPV) and a cream called ZOVIRAX was very effective, I didn't have to do any surgery. ZOVIRAX is a herpes treatment but it also seems to be effective in cases of genital warts. It worked for me and I know other people that also had goos results.
