Hi Ap093,
So I had my follow up and my surgeon didn’t reallt “look” too much in there, I just told her I had itching and a bit of pain and she said it was all from the wound of the tag removal.
I’m still not convinced that I’m healing because I’m on day 20 and I’m having a bit of pain similar to the fissure pain and it’s so hard to tell if it’s from the tag removal or not because the tag was directly on the fissure as my surgeon explained.
Still doing stool softeners. I went to the bathroom last night and despite everything being ok movement wise, I had a bit of bleeding. That upset me so much I honestly had a hard time sleeping as I haven’t had any bleeding since day 3 or so after surgery. Hoping it’s still the wound.
I also went to the bathroom this morning and had some burning but no blood. Had some spicy food yesterday so I’m PRAYING that’s what caused the burning and not spasms/fissure pain.
What brand stool softeners are you taking? I’m taking Colace, 2 pills a day before bed.
I thought I would be okay without taking them but honestly just scared at this point and don’t want to see more blood.
