After 3 full months I’m still dealing with this nasty internal AF, diagnosed on 3 April, but active since mid-march.
I‘m on Rectogesic since 18 April, and while I can use it one time a day (versus 3 times a day when the pain was unbearable), I still NEED to use it after BM, when my sphincter spasms. I use less than 1cm, but my CRS told me that this is not normal.
How long have you been using Rectogesic before feeling safe without it?
My problem being the spasms, that still persist (even though not as bad as when I first started using it), and a burning sensation that drives me mad for 3-5 hours after the morning BM.
I fear this burning feeling might also be caused by a proctitis I was diagnosed with, but for which I was not prescribed any cure.
Worried about CU, I took the calprotectin faecal exam, showing low levels of inflammation (<30).
To make things worse, I’m freaking out thinking about having an anoscopy done by my CRS (he wants to see me for a check visit), which I strongly believe last time worsened my already terribly painful fissure.
Currently I’m using rectogesic after BM, trying self dilatation, zinc oxide cream, e vitamin oil, and eating super clean–I mean really clean, like veggies and proteins, no gluten, lactose, etc.
I know this sounds like a silly question as everyone is different, but how long did it take for you to overcome these terrible sensations of spasming and burning during/after a BM?
Thanks you all!
