Keep going Hun it will get better if you are still taking morphine or any opiate don't forget they will constipate you a bit hence why you may need a bit more movicol. Like you say it's only been a few days so it normal to feel pain after a BM. I'm sure that will go very soon
3 weeks and 4 days since my op it's still sore to go to the toliet and for a bit after it I'm not to bad some days it's a bit sore for longer but still making sure I clean with shower head after going to the toliet!!! Thinking about using coconut oil?? I know still early days but worryed it will not all heal I need my tear to heal my fistula and my skin tag hole! !! X
So tomorrow is 5 weeks since my surgery and I can tell the bottox is working! When I need to go to the toliet I need to get there fast and I'm having no hours of pain like before my first op in Oct! It's still a little sore when going to the toliet and after for a bit but I'm still keeping clean and using coconut oil now and again I'm getting my hubby to take a photo every week so I can see how things are going lol lol I can't see my fistula or fissure wounds I can only see the big wound from the bottom skin tag that was removed the wound is getting smaller I can see that guess it will still be sore tI'll it's all healed I know the wounds they made will heal but so scaryed my fissure will remain still there!!! And worryed it will never go x
Get onto 100% pear juice for soft bm's reguarly, also include coconut oil with your foods or take 1 tsp before each meal.
If its still not getting any better consider a LIS - or fissureectomy. You need a CRS to get a colorectal physeo to check your resting sphincter pressure. Also get an investigation under anaesthetic to check for any scarring or stenosis. Dont be afraid of the knife, it could save years of pain.
6 weeks after surgery and this week I have had no pain all week it's been amazing and have had my life back this week!! And been back to work I'm hoping this is the start of things to come! But hoping my surgeon gives me another round of bottox to give me another 3 months x
Hi Katie, So glad your doing so well. You deserve it after everything you have been through. I'm sure this is the end of your fissure/fistula journey and you can now enjoy yourself and your family Big hugs Hun x
