Hey everyone, I’m 20 years old. I have this throbbing pain to the point that I couldn’t sleep so I decided to go see the doctor last Thursday (7 feb). He diagnosed me with chronic anal fissure and give me the choice of medication and surgery. I chose surgery because I don’t want to deal with this pain anymore and got the LIS surgery done and also remove the sentinel pile in the same day. After the local anaesthetic wore off it was EXCRUCIATING. The medication didn’t help at all and I can only sleep for 3 hours before waking up from the pain. The second day is better but still painful and the day after that it get better and better.
But now I’m having problem with BM. The doctor only prescribe me with pain meds but no laxative or any stool softener at all. My first BM was very painful and only a little bit come out. I felt like there’s still a lot inside and I constantly feel the need to go without any success. As soon as I got on the toilet, there’s so much pressure and straining but I felt like my sphincter doesn’t relax for the stool to come out. I also felt like the place where the tag was removed is swelling up and really tender. I tried taking fiber but it doesn’t seem to help and I tried putting my finger up in there but the stool isn’t really that hard.
I felt really frustrated and I went to the urgent care yesterday (11 feb). The doctor prescribed me MOM and antibiotics because I have low fever and told me to come back if I still can’t pass stool after 2 days.
I didn’t take the MOM yet because I’m scared of BM now and I really want to know if it will help soften the stool that is inside me for 6 days now. Also I was told to take the MOM before going to bed, but I don’t want to have BM in the morning before I take my pain meds because it is already painful when I wake up and my meds take about 20 minutes to take action. I really want the BM to be painless without straining at all.
I felt really stressed and frustrated now and I hope someone can help me with this problem.
