Hemorrhoid pile not shrinking. Plus?

I am at Day 24 post laser plus stapled hemorrhoidopexy surgery. I had a grade 3 prolapsed hemorrhoid for 5 years. The surgeon has removed (excised) the hemorrhoid (hemorrhoidopexy) that used to pop out and he has applied laser at the rectal exit which also used to pop out along with the hemorrhoid as a unified mass. Post defecation the hemorrhoid lump is no more there but I can still feel quite a big lump (mostly the mass at which laser was aimed). On wiping I can feel that protrusion and the lump continues internally for a certain small length. The surgeon at the Day 16 follow up said that it will be ok within a month's time, and gave some painkillers for a week. I don't see the lump shrinking even a bit. I'm on cremaffin plus till now for soft and loose stools. How long can I continue cremaffin plus? I'm extremely worried and I don't believe that the mass is going to shrink. Also I do not know if I should put that mass inside post defecation but on spreading the leg I can feel it out
