I am 20 years old and already have an AF!!! I have had some minor pain within the last 3 months but didn't think anything of it so a 3 weeks ago I went to my primary doctor and she told me to take colace, fiber, water. Pretty standard stuff. Since then, I have really had no relief. I find my self avoiding BM's because I'm so scared. So a week ago I took a few laxatives, which worked, but caused my great pain. It seems like even liquid burns when it's coming out. Two days ago I became constipated, once again, and took 2 laxatives. WHICH DIDN"T WORK! No BM for me. So today, at my wits end, I decided to take an enema that my mom had bought for me. What a mistake. I have never felt so much pain in my life. A 10 is the only way to describe it. Every time any sort of substance would come out I would go crazy. Bawling my eyes out at this point. NOTE: i already have a low tolerance for pain but this was so over the top. So now I"m stuck, the enema is forcing me to go, but I am scared to death to let it out. So finally I did, got a lot out, along with A LOT of blood. I'm really scared now. I took a sitz bath and my parents did some research for me. This is the only site that has made me feel better. Although it makes me sad that some of you have had AF's for 6 years :( I'm 20 and I don't want my life to revolve around this. And now I don't know where to turn. Don't know what medications to use or what to eat. I'm so stressed and sad! Advice please!!!
