I am possibly back again to this board. I am hoping and praying not. My old diary is here: from-botox-to-lis-t8093.html
Iwent into the CRS a number of weeks ago, because I had some unexplained bleeding, but no pain and no pain with bms. They did a thorough examination and found a very small tear and a grade I internal hemorrhoid. He said that the bleeding was from the hemorrhoid, and I shouldn't be concerned about the tear. He said they don't typically do anything for grade I, but he does offer cortisone meds to those who want them, but they don't really do too much.
Immediately after the appointment, I had some pain from the prodding. This pain has built up over the past few weeks. I still don't have any pain with bms, but as the day goes on, pain underneath my tailbone builds up. I can't help but find it reminiscent of the muscle spasms with the fissure. However, my fissure hurt with a bm and seemed to be a constant throbbing, particularly when sitting down, and standing/walking relieved it.
With this, the pain slowly starts after a bm (pain-free during bm), and works up to a throbbing, dull ache by the evening. Even walking can irritate it. For those who have had both AFs and hems, is it possible it's a really mean grade I hem or perhaps working its way up to grade II? The CRS did give me meds, and I have been using them. I did have some itchiness a couple of days ago, which seems to be more common with hems, too.
I have myself in such a tizzy about this, and I know I just need to relax, as the stress is doing nothing for me, but I have a once-in-a-lifetime (expensive) trip abroad in three weeks, so I am seriously stressed. If it's a hem, I don't know how much they can do if I am leaving in three weeks, and if it's a fissure, I really don't know what to do. This would be my second one, and I've already had LIS earlier this year for the other (which did fully heal).
To add to it, with my AF in 2013, they immediately diagnosed it as the GP as a hem, as did the GI doctor. It wasn't until months later when I went to the CRS, that he told me there's no way that internal hem could cause that much blood and pain... UGH... Thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated!
