I have an anal fissure and had two skin tags and a hem as well. Exactly a week ago I had them removed and the fissure "cleaned up" with a Botox injection.
Prior to the procedure I was in excrutiating pain. To the point, I was in tear and screaming every morning during bowel motion. Now, post op it's not as bad however it's still very painful during and for many hours after.
I am taking laxculose also with pain killers. I also do salt baths a few times a day.
My high fibre diet is also helping keep my stool soft.
Does anyone know if it is bad that I am having bowel movement at least twice a day? How will the wound heal if I keep going toilet?
Pleaseeeeeee give me advice. I can't tolerate pain anymore !
Darling I think it's a good thing you're going regularly! Take a sitz bath after every stool passed and keep dry with kitchen towel and wear boxers to keep place airy.
I'm four days post op and I still haven't had a bowel movement despite being on laculose. I am dreading my first movement but I need to go x
I'm in so much pain. I am literally feeling so depressed because of how scared I am to go each time. And I can't leave the house because when I need to go, I am done within a few mins. Sometimes I'm lucky to even make it. I hope you go soon and that it's not too painful. Hopefully these few days of not going have allowed ur wound to heal...
I had two skin tags removed and I had an abscess drained, but I've got to go back in four weeks for Botox on a chronic fissure. It's never ending!
Speak to your doctor because your muscles might be a little sore and not working properly following the surgery. I'm sure once you've recovered that'll go back to normal.
I used to have the same pain that you described. It then got worse to the point that I would have that pain when going to the toilet especially if constipated. I would also bleed
Tell you the truth if I don't have to go to the bathroom I'm all good.
It seems like only the bowel movement activate it, its like a switch and fast after that I feel it creeping on me.
What I do to release some pain is lay down on the floor with my hips alivated so I'll have a foam roller under my butt and just try and relax in that position .
I'm in terrible pain as we speak , hope you are better
Yes unfortunately it got ALOT worse. So plesseeeeee look after your diet and avoid straining so that you don't go through it.
I used heat packs to help and warm baths as well. I also avoided sitting for long hours and tried to move around more to get my mind off it(as hard as that is) that seemed to help
Hi I haven't had a surgery but after seeing 4 docs I think I will have a colonoscopy just to rule out other concearns...
About not pooping tho, from Tuesday to Saturday o did a water fast a did not go the the bathroom till yesterday morning , my bowel was nice and soft but the pain was 10 times worst than before and lasted longer than the usual 4-6 hours.
I hope you are in a different situation since you had a surgery...
Yes I am a female and due to childbirth the anal fissure occurred from all the straining.
Now that I am 10 days post op I can start to see the '"light at the end of the tunnel" as the pain is less than the excrutiating pain pre-op. I have been really watching what I eat and have had bowel movements at least twice a day (except today ... hmm not sure if I should be worried) it's really scarey because it really all about what you eat.
I just hope i can get my life back on track
Oh! There's an ointment that I used to use to help with healing before surgery one was Rectogesic and another starting with S I can't recall exactly what it's called. Maybe that might help u..
To be honest I'm not too sure. My surgeon didn't insert much because he said that there could be a risk of incontinence. So at the moment the pain is better than before but still not great. I'm not sure if that's the Botox or if it's because my skin tags have been removed. The surgeon also said that the Botoxs' effect doesn't work immediately. Maybe that's why I haven't had immediate pain relief
Hi all of you. Hope you will be fine. I read your problems over all you going in the wright direction. Firs of all I am my self suffer from chronic anal fissure. The pains you have after bm is spasm. I had mine for 12 hours. Also you all seems to interested in botox injection. The Botox injection is for 3 to 6 months after it wears off the fissure could comeback. I had surgery and I felt imidatly better . At the pick of my fissure I use to walk alote about 10000 steps a day. I would recommend you LIS op. Know I am over 3 months that have the op. I feel 95% fixed. The other 5% is more mental as you all know it's nightmare to have this terrible illness. The operation is not painful in my case . Try to find doctor who is specialist in this prosedure not gentle surgent. I wolk next day 6000steps.that was about 15 to 18 hours after the opp . In my case I heal I would say in 10 weeks. But most the cases ppl heal in 2 weeks. So guys wish you all the best if you need any more advise on how to have diet or something more. Please ask.
