So i am still fairly new here...I have had fissures before but have been lucky enough to have them heal on their own aND after waiting a few days pass the stool. Not this time. Iwon't go into the long of it because I have posted before but basically I haven't had a normal or full bowel movement since Aug 1. This past Sunday I tried and was screaming , felt like I was going to pass out, and bleeding alot. My husband took me to the ER where I begged them not to lax me up so thearly dr drugged me up to examine me and try to get the blocked stool out. I guess I was screaming so he stopped. Surprisingly they admitted me and the night was hell...it took forever to get pain medication that helped and even then the suppositorys left me screaming and crying. On Monday they tried a laxitive and said if I didn't try they would send me home...I finally started passing watery stool but couldn't pass hard. They brought in a new specialist who checked me out and decided surgery was my only hope along with removing my hemroid because of how bad it was. He said he has never seen anyone as swollen as I was (the nurse couldn't find where to put the suppository it was so swollen). Luckily they stopped all lax and suppositories and kept me drugged up and comfortable until this morning (tuesday) when I had the surgery. They said they get most of if not all the hard stool out and to stay soft and rest for the rest of the week. I was able to finally eat and go home. I slept most of the later afternoon away and am now soaking because the pain is coming back. It feels damn near impossible that I will ever be able to poop but I am praying and resting while having two young kids at home is not going to be easy. My poor husband is already worn out. But here is to a quickly recovery with the use of little pain pills ( damn constipatino things).
Thanks for listening to my story.
