explained the pain very clearly
infact i explained everything very clearly,
as i done a list to take with me, so i didnt 4get anything
a tip i got off here.
so it was then the right ok take your trousers down and lie on ur left side, with knee`s up to ur chest,
he had a gd look, oh yes i see you have 2 fissures
one south at 6 oclock, and 1 west at 9 0clock,
so now please tell me something i dont know .
he then said there stll very tender so i wont do an internal digit, it might hurt nd make u bleed

he then began to trace the perianal line from my butt towards my scrotum...
yes it is very swollen, and the way you moved i can safely say tender as well... you can doctor you can... i said
mmmm i heaard him say, as he had another touch and feel of the swolen line,
ok he said dress up again will you,
he ask me to sit down to which i said id rather not on the hard chair... awww yes of course
ok he said this is what i shall do with you
you have been on Co-amoxiclav but they have appeared not to work very well..... duhhhhhh ehhhhh i no that
so here`s the next avenue
CEFALEXIN 500mg 1 3X Aday
METRONIDAZOLE 400mg 1 3x aday
AND THIS IS WOT I FIND SO MESSED UP
HE GAVE ME BLOODY CO-CODAMOL
HE TOLD ME TO UP MY LACTOULOSE TO 50 Mls 2 xaday
TO STOP THE CO-CODAMOL FROM BUNGING ME UP LMAO

and me just thinking what is the point, and just think why me
well if any on here has had the above mentioned tablets can you please let me no how things went with them. sorry for the rant, i shouldnt get my hopes up,

Dazzy,
I am not familiar with any of the meds you listed. When Tabby gets feeling better, she might be able to give you good guidance as your systems over there are very different from ours over here. Try not to get discouraged. You have not yet exhausted all possibilites. Just haven't found the right solution at this point in time for yourself. Sorry for your pain.

CEFALEXIN -http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100000487.html
METRONIDAZOLE = Flagyl antibitoics
Both work to fight infection.
CO-CODAMOL = disaster waiting to happen – WTF !!!! Stupid doctors
Val made a good point of using paracemetol and ibuprofen but I think you said ibuprofen isnt so good on your tummy ?? I never understood the concept of using the two together but now I do ibuprofen fights pain the paracemtol will reduce swelling and inflammation.
Dazzy I am sorry buddy our system sucks sometimes
2 fissures :( oh Dazzy – it sure seems that the action they are taking is that of infection , abscess who knows but the antibiotic should start to make things feel a whole lot better in a few days at least it will take away that pounding throbbing feeling but of course you still have 2 fissures to deal with
God I wish they had admitted you ...
I say you phone your GP in the morning and ask for some different pain relief that will not cause constipation !
I am using voltarol for pain and parcetomol seems to be a good combo !
Maybe you can ask for some tramodol ?
Hugs to you Dazzy
:thinkofyou:

Dazzy – Just saw an ad on tv for voltarol available without prescription !!
Also the antibiotics may cause loose stools you need some probiotic drinks/supplements it will help keep your tummy in balance – I use acidophilus
I would think that health shop in your town should stock it

I have used both of the antibiotics and they do help. I am not familiar with the pain medicine. Can you get some movicol? Maybe eat a prune if you get constipated?

Tabby is right about the probiotics like acidophilis. I would stay on in after the meds because it can help regulate your bowels some too.

Did the doctor want you to come back and be rechecked? Was he at least more understanding of your pain? The metronidazole is supposed to help with anal pain too so hopefully once you get this stuff on board you will start to feel better.

Just do everything you can to get your bowels soft. Try not to despair.

The important thing right now is to get your diet right, take those baths, and do what the doctor says do. You WILL get through this, but prepare yourself for a long haul, weeks and maybe longer. If you don;t have to work...LIE around and be still as much as possible. use that nefedipine before your BM and 3- 4 times a day.
Butt problems are NOT forever!

Dazzy ????
:thinkofyou:

Dazzy, is it possible for you to get a referral to a private colorectal surgeon? It will cost about Ј120, but he will at least give you a proper diagnosis and proper medication. Then you could go back on the NHS for any treatment.
Take care :thinkofyou:

Dazzy....Are you here?? How are you????
