Hey guys,
Would love some advice from fellow post-op slow healers -
I had LIS, fissurectomy and hemorroid banding done 2 months ago. Due to the slow healing I went in to see the CRS for an exam under anesthetic to see the state of the wounds. As expected the doc said to me that the hem would were healing terribly. This prob explains why after all this time I still have some pain with bowel movements and sitting after a BM hurts. He thought there was some kind of inflamation happening higher up the gastro tract and referred me back to my gastro doc.
The theory they both have is that the extremely slow healing wounds I have could be caused by Crohns. (IMPORTANT POINT - Few people have Crohns and some folks are just slow healers so i don't want to cause anybody unecessary alarm, you poor guys have enough to deal with). Anyway, I'm trying to psych myself up for a colonoscopy given the state of my backside and wondering the following -
1. For those of you that were diagnosed with Crohns, did the treatment help heal your wounds?
2. If it isn't Crohns what alternative treatments/explanations have you guys discovered for slow healing?
I'm sorry that you are all going through such tough times, and wish you all good healing and positive energy my friends.
