I've been suffering from an anal fissure and the past few days of my life have been absolute hell. I can barely walk and am thus mostly confined to lying in my bed the whole day. It's so painful that I can't even sleep properly at night. Each time I get bowel movement, the movement itself I can tolerate but afterwards the piercing pain is completely unbearable! I find myself cursing and slamming my fists on the wall each time I deal with that.
I've been doing treatment for the past 4 days, however nothing seems to be improving
Yesterday I went to see the doctor and was prescribed proctosedyl, as well as a stool softener. I've been trying to drink 2 litres of water a day, and eating a high Fiber diet as well. I've been applying coconut oil as well as Aloe vera too. Later on my parents will help get a sitz bath for me, as I'm in no condition to leave the house.
Thankfully I found this forum where I realise I'm not alone and can vent my frustrations as well as to seek help. How did you guys deal with the pain physically as well as mentally? Mentally I'm just so miserable at what my life has succumbed to and really just want to end it all from all the pain.
