I began having really bad burning all the time after a BM. I think it was due to the Nifedipine and Cortisone but I cannot really confirm it. All I can say is that it has been gradually getting worst as I continue the treatment with the creams so I've decided to take a few days off and see what happends.

The burning will happen even with small or soft BM's and when it starts it lasts all day long. I feel better when sitting and it gets worst if I stand for some reason.

I've been trying Coconut oil in my but to see if the burning gets better.

Sorry to hear Kingfish.

Are you experiencing the burning immediately after a bowel movement or a few hours later?

And how long does the burning last approximately (in terms of hours)?

It's usually a little painful during BM but the funny thing is the pain gradually starts after the BM and grows from a pain level of 1 or 2 to a 6 or 7. This usually lasts till the evening after a morning BM.

How about you?

I don't have a fissure Kingfish. Not that I know of.

But I don't have any pain when having a bowel movement nor immediately after.

I have an achy, tight, pressure like pain that starts of gradually about 6 or 7 hours after a bowel movement and builds for another 5 or 6 hours and then it lets off.

I've found it only happens after a bow movement. If I don't have a bowel movement for a day, I don't have the pain.

This has been going on for close to 4 months now.

Sounds like you may still be having spasms. What did your dr say?

My surgeon says it's due to hemorrhoids. I'm not sure as I started having this pain after my perianal abscess spontaneously erupted.

I'm going to see him tomorrow morning and specifically ask him if these are muscle spasms in my rectal / pelvic area.

I am hoping they aren't but I have a feeling they actually are. It's been going on far too long.

So you happen to believe that's what it is?

Well, I am not a Dr. but if you don't have a fissure hemorrhoids may be causing the pressure and creating the spasms. Best to rule out anything else first just in case.

I've never had an issue like this with hemorrhoids Kingfish.

Once the pain passes, I have no big discomfort in the area.

Yes I know you're not a doctor but is it really possible that the hemorrhoids, possibly being internal, are getting inflamed and causing this achy tight feeling for hours each day?

And would hemorrhoid cause such a pain for 4 months straight?

I'm worried it might be something else.

All I can say is that pain in the rectum can be caused by many things. Sometime one or more situations are happening at the same time. It’s difficult to say and I totally understand the frustration. I’m in a similar situation and healing is slow.

Thanks Kingfish. Wish you strength to get through your situation.

Yes it is frustrating dealing with more than one thing, especially when you don't have clear answers for them.
