Regulan – Ispaghula/ psyllium is very beneficial to use !
I use to use it all the time to help with IBS but with fissure the bulk of the BM made it more painful to pass
Do you get regulan from your GP ?

Hello people..
well handed my discharge papers in to my gp today.
and went through what hapened at the hospital
he gave me a very quick check
didnt seem to interested when i told him i was still leaking blood,
all he said was i will see u next week,
and that was that, i went in there determined,
i ask for more anoheal, to which he repied next week ok
told him about the leakage, give it time
ask about painkillers, take paracetamol mean time
i told him about the pain,spasams i was getting,
his reply..... deep breaths, and try and relax, the more tense i get the more pain i will get,
i tried and failed... no i feel what is the point.. no one seems to understand the pain nd worry and much life affecting this is...(apart from you great lot on here) am now all just at a loss, feeling so down,low,

Dazzy,
ARe you able to work?????
Cheryl

no as my job involves heavy lifting, and long peiods of driving which is impossible as my butt hurts,
my only way for comfort is lieing on my side or on my my front, standing long periods gets very uncomfortabe, sitting on a ring or big cusion, my work cant allow me to use any of them 2 things for health and safety reason.

Read Tamara's recent post. It should give you a lot of hope!!!!!

Tamara also makes a very good point about being your own advocate for your health! And demand someone help you.
I understand that it has taken me 2 years to get to this point - i feel i have had to fight
Dazzy I am sorry things were not more productive today...
God i hope the cream kicks in soon buddy !
Ok - It will get better

Dazzy,
Thoughts are things. Worrying is not going to help you. Take it from me. I know all too well.

Don't give up Darren, we have all been there or are there...it's depressing, painful and life wrecking, but it is not lethal.
Have you had LIS? How is your pain? BM pain?
Before I visit my CRS/doctor I write down things to ask him...
Corsica

It is so frustrating isn't it!? Sometimes I go in thinking I am properly prepared to do battle and then get run over and don't get my points across and how messed up my life is because of this pain.
I think this GP is out of his comfort zone and you need to see a CRS. I wonder if you could at least see Tabby's GP. He is very nice.
