I have had my AL for over 3 years now. It started after the quite traumatic birth of my son. (Although there is mixed opinions that that's what caused it)
I am really struggling now, frustrated and feeling so down and alone. I have a very supportive family but they just don't understand how sore I get.
I have had great spells where it feels like it has healed but more lengthy spells with it playing up.
I have had the diltizem, laxatives and one set of botox, i was due for a second however fell pregnant again. During my pregnancy the AL didnt really cause a problem which i thought it would due to the extra pressure, and even after the birth Ii was fine,,, however 8 weeks down the line I feel like i am right back where i started. I am so tired of it all. I am terrified to go to the toilet because i know the 8hours after are going to be hell. I had a BM recently and have now been left with either a haemerroid or 'the end of the fissure' sticking out and i really dont know what to do.
I am currently waiting on my next appointment and my 2nd lot of botox but
Im now at the point that i cant see this thing ever healing.
Sorry for the rant but i am just so fed up with this now.
