I'm 22, I was diagnosed with IBS about 2 years ago, I've had hemorrhoids my whole life and had a haemorrhoidectomy after a blood clot had formed in some of them February 2023.
Around 10 weeks ago, I was on a flight back home when all of sudden I got a sharp, deep and unsettling pain, we landed and I had some of the worst diarrhea I had for a while. Got covid. The pain never left and my butt was feeling pretty sore so I called my doctor but he brushed it off, until about 6 or 7 weeks ago when I had a *presumably* lung infection that sent me to the hospital. Within less than a week the butt pain grew too much and I demanded to see him. It was a severe rectal fissure.
The moment the doctor pried open my cheeks I screamed in agony, a banshee's screech that alarmed him. He called in another doctor to confirm and it was in fact a severe rectal fissure. They PROMISED me around 6 weeks recovery time, I called them again about a week ago and they said 6-8 but that to me seems doubtful since I can still fricking feel how bad it is.
It's currently 6am, I'm half drunk after my sister's birthday, super tired but I can't sleep because my butt hurts like hell. Feels like a smoldering iron got shoved in my hole sideways. I can't find a comfortable position cause of my scoliosis and butt, wtf do I do levitate? I've had 3 VIOLENT BM since midnight and I'm exhausted. I should probably add that I'm severely lactose intolerant and I forgot to take my lactase pills before eating pizza and whipping cream
