So I had back surgery 3 weeks ago and my wife had a baby a few days later, all while I'm working on my masters online, it has been very stressful. All the pain killers made very constipated and I eventually had a few very painful bowel movements followed up a little later byears a day of diahria. I quit the drugs as soon as I had those painful BMs. Apparently I had a fissure from the BM, which was diagnosed 3 weeks after surgery, which was about 2 weeks after the painful BM's. It was very painful, which was why I went to the doctor, but it has gotten much worse over the weekend. I went into the insticare today by they just gave me another prescription and didn't do any examining other than look at it. My original doctor said that my swelling was just from the fissure, but the swelling is on the left side of the anus, stating at the base and runs from the front to back, a few inches, and has swelled out more into the butt cheek. He also said I have some external and internal hemroids, but I have never had hemroids that hurt like this. This is the most painful thing I've experienced, including my back surgeries. I spend most my time laying in bed or the bath tub, but it hurts so bad to roll over in bed and get out, and to squat is becoming early impossible. I can't bend, twist, reach over my head, or lift more than 5-10 pounds, which makes the situation worse. I was curious how painful a fissure can be, or how painful internal hemroids if that's what all the swelling is from. I have been given some hydrocortizone acetate suppositories and a perscription for nitro glycerin (or something that sounds like that) but all my pharmacies are out until late Monday. I have also trues lidocaine with no releif. Do I need to be worried about an abcess, or should I push the doctor to do something more? I'm afraid I might just be over reacting and this is completely normal, I hate to ask the doctor to many questions or tell them what I found on the Internet haha. Just a side note, it feels like it hurts into my left testicle too, if that makes any difference. Sorry for the long post, and I don't even know if it's the right place, but I just had to post sone thing and hope for some feedback. I typed this all on my phone so I could still lay down, so sorry it's typed so poorly.
