My story continues! After an antibiotic induced fissure/hemorhoids I saw my family doctor again yesterday as I still have varied symptoms and days where all I do is cry because of pain. She was very thorough and said there is no fissure but she could see a very small thrombosed hemorhoid.
We talked about my symptoms and how one day I can feel pretty good then the next I could be really sore, the examination not hurting like I expected it too, and my history of pelvic nerve pain, she decided that nerve pain is the culprit.
I asked if the thrombosed hemorhoid would be this painful and she said it wouldn't, and it would heal on its own as long as I continued to eat sensibly (fibre etc). She prescribed amitriptyline to help with nerve pain and Prozac along with it for pain and the anxiety I've been suffering for the last couple of months since all this kicked off.
I feel she is right about nerve pain as I have had 2 incident of this in this area over the years, and took amitriptyline for a while until it subsided, but I can feel the discomfort and often pain from the spot where she said the hemorhoid is and that worries me. Will it really go away unaided?
She referred me to a specialist a month ago but I still have no appointment, and when I eventually get one she wants me to see him even if I'm feeling better by then, just so we know what's going/gone on.
I just feel uneasy and wondered what the experts (ie you!) thought.
