Soooooo, I was in a wreck almost 2 years ago and while recovering I gained a lot of weight from steroids and not being physical. I joined "Curves" and decided to retake my life. Within 2 weeks of retaking my life I ripped myself working out too hard. HELLO!! I thought I was doing something good for my life and it has turned into the nightmare life from hell for the past 5 months.
I have read every forum, blog, Doctor blog, wilkipedia post, you name it I have read it ad I have tried it! I couldbe a fissure doctor myself at this point. I have put more creams, suppositories, gels, meds, etc up my butt than I ever wanted to:| I have ordered Rectogesic from Australia and have been on it for almost 2 weeks. Some days it works okay some days it doesn't.
I am now at my wits end over this ridiculous pain. I literally shake until I almost pass out from pain while I go to the bathroom. Afterwards I lay in the scorching hot tub for about an hour, just rocking back and forth in pain. The pain lasts about 8-10 hours. I get to sleep some nights but in the morning, same thing all over again.
I read some of the posts here before I actually figured out how to join and I am about to go try the potato thing! I mean dang, I have tried everything else mentioned on this forum. Potato can't hurt at this point. I can add it to the list of "things I have shoved into my nether regions" list. Lord knows the list is long and distinguished:| If anyone has any other suggestions I am open to them. My Dr wants me to stay on the Rectogestic for atleast a month before we even discuss the surgery. She is all about, I am young (45) and should try all possibilities before I let someone cut my butt hole.
I appreciate this forum. I have no shame at this point, as I have had a colonoscopy and every Dr in town has seen or touched my butt:| I am a fissure hoochie momma at this point. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
