Hi guys, I'll join the group. My bowels have been all over the place since the colonoscopy and Botox and hem banding. 4 days post op and it started out great. BM was solid but hurt a little in general. No fissure pain. Still bruised down there so I chalked it to that. Then I had to cough. The cough made me violently fart and it hurt/bled a little. That was just the start. The gas kept on coming. It's 9:40pm and I've had 6 bm. They're painless now but I feel like the excessive farting and pooping has reopened something at the top. I'm scared it's my chronic fissure, even though it doesn't feel like it, wrong spot Maybe it's a hem as I think there was one beside my fissure. I don't know but it again stings to wee and the gas is building up again so I may try to sleep and hope my body doesn't want to have another BM. Ibs sucks. Increase fibre...blah. I've spent the day dunking in the sitz bath. I told my boss I'm going to need next week off.
I wasn't in much pain before, just couldn't have normal solid BM. It's early yet in the Botox, here's hoping day 5 is better. At least the bleeding has almost stopped. I can see what caused my new fissure during the surgery; my hemorrhoid was removed from that spot. It looks huge, but it's causing me little pain as it's completely external. It's just whatever is near my chronic fissure that's not playing nice and is stinging.
I'm sorry you're not having a good go of it, Katie. I hope today is better for you
