I have been diagnosed with AF posterior 12'o clock. I had a minor surgery and lost my father the next day, hadn't eaten well for several weeks as i was close to my father. Not eating and having to take antibiotics for the surgery has constipated me and thats how my AF came about.
I do not have SPASMS, just pain during BM which on occasions can be severe. It tore again twice in the last 3 months however I still do not have SPASMS after BM, its only during the BM that I seem to have pain. The CRS I visited offered me LIS straight away. I have been on creams, good diet, sitz bath and the complete drill basically. I have even stopped laxative/stool softners last 3 weeks and my stools are soft. No matter how soft they are, it still pains a little and severely sometimes. Does my case come across as one needing LIS. Please let me know your thoughts. My pain is bearable and i am only worried about developing an infection because I am severely constipated when taking antibiotics.
What can I do to make sure the area is clean every day and still apply the creams. I asked the CRS and he refused to answer this question. As per him its only antibiotics that can do this and he is pushing me towards surgery. I have a lovely caring wife who is supporting me through this miserable journey so far since my father's passing. I have so far been brave but its slow starting to impact my work. There is lot of stress at my work place and this AF is taking a toll. Everything I do now revolves around AF and impacting not only me, but my family also. I do not want surgery as i have had 2 surgeries already in the past 3 years(not AF related though, they are for totally difference reasons). I just want to quit my job due to this stress but my loans etc...are keeping me on my toes. There is no peace and quiet in this AF world, its all about what happens during your next BM and the cycle continues. I have rambled enough.
Just glad that there are people who understand the pain I am going through and happy to be sharing.
