Hi dear Caroline : ) !!! Thank you so much for getting back to me so fast : ) ! It s amazing how similar our symptoms are - even the look of a skin tags ?!? Mine are also much smaller in the morning and "behave" before I have my first BM than whole cycle starts again. I also have occasional sharp pangs of pain - mine feels like somebody pokes me with a big needle just for the heck of it ; ) - I am sure somebody has my Voodoo doll somewhere and is having tremendous fun , LOL ; ) !!! And guess what - we are exactly same age : ))) !!!!
I have to order that cream ASAP and thanks for the tip for application.
I am sorry to hear that you had to go through one more surgery before LIS : (, but I am sure that your body will adjust and that your runny stools will stop soon. I also was never constipated before I got my fissure - I got it when I pushed my BM too hard and suddenly before my muscles were relaxed since I wanted to do it fast in public restroom - what a stupid move on my behalf - but I never could have dreamed that something like this could happen - never in my life had any digestive problems or anorectal problems and than - wack !!!!! Major damage out of the blue : (.
Thanks for describing your first exam - do you need to go again ?
I am afraid of mine since he wanted to "go in" only 2 weeks after procedure when I came to his office for consultations regarding my swollen and weired looking skin tag . He said he can't tell me anything before the exam and as if I knew I asked would he go inside he said "but of course" and I just freaked out and didn't let him do exam - although I think that was what he was counting on : (. Just sad how insensitive some doctors can be : (((.
Let us hope that all what is happening with skin is just transitory and that we will be free of that soon : )) !!! I will let you know what assistant CRS says when I see her on 30th this month !
In the meantime, we will "see" each other here on the board : ))) !
I am so glad to have you here and I am sure all other members too! The more people we have , the more informations we get and we can help more and more people that way !!!
All the best and BIG HUG !
