I am so happy this website exsists

Postby Catsitter » 23 May 2011, 04:39

Hi guys
I am new here and stumbled across this website when looking for more help on google searches.
I have been suffering with a fissure, piles and a skin tag since last August. I am living on lactulose (pooh softener) and having to inject instilligel into my bottom every time I have a movement. My doctors have put a referral in for me to have surgery, but the referral can’t come quick enough.
I feel like I have a hot poker sizzling away at it constantly. All I want to do is sleep so I can’t feel the pain. I am also slowly becoming depressed as it’s an awful thing to have. I can’t walk properly, almost likened to a waddling duck! I am undergoing IVF shortly and I don’t want to have these problems whilst pregnant as more pressure on it will only make it worse.
Thank god for this website! I have already read some comforting words from other sufferers and want to thank the creator of this website for doing so. I intend to contribute as much as I can to help fellow sufferers in offering and gaining advice.

Oh catsitter, you poor thing! So sorry that you are suffering so much - I truly hope that you get in to have surgery soon.
As you have observed, the encouragement/empathy from the people here is amazing. I hope it is as helpful to you as it has been to me - a completely unexpected blessing. I've found it so reassuring to know that I'm not the only one suffering in this way - and the advice I have found here has been really insightful and helpful.
Sorry you (like all of us) have to be here, but so glad you found us.
Here's to a good butt day!

Welcome catsitter (I like that handle!)..glad you found the site.
I had to respond because "being violated with a broken beer bottle followed by having a fiery hot poker up there for 6 more hours" is EXACTLY how I described my pain.
Still don't think anyone believes us that it is THAT horrible, because it defies logic how a tiny "cut" can cause that much agony - when it doesn't when it's on your finger, for example.
You will find understanding here, that is for sure!

Welcome Catsitter! I'm sorry you have to be here, but you will definitely find lots of support and great advice from the people here. I know exactly the pain you are describing! You are not alone. I am 13 days post-LIS (and skin tag removal) and I am very happy I had it done. I'm still tender and sore, but nothing like before and I'm looking forward to a complete recovery (KOW!) soon. There is hope for this evil affliction, either through surgery or more conservative treatments. There's no quick fix, but we can get fixed eventually - hand in there! I hope you get your referral real fast. :D
