Hi everyone,
After reading the posts thought I'd introduce myself.
I was diagnosed with AF several years ago. The pain was as everyone describes, intense! I also had/have the 'tags outside the anus...sorry for the potty mouth. I was given, way back when, a steroid cream which did nothin. Suffered for about a year in misery. Just a side note, my mom was
near the end of stage 4 ovarian so stress was involved.
Fast forward, became very active in the gym, eating fiber, good diet. The pain went away. I was left with the 'tags...forever I guess.
Anyhoo...6 weeks ago I had major abdominal surgery. Recovery is fine. Today I had a BM and noticed bright red blood... Not a lot but really scared me! I also felt a burning sensation in the anus...kind of like the old days but not severe.
One thing different is that I've had to sit for 6 weeks solid post surgery. I had some major constipation issues during week 2. Two days of pain!
My body is used to moving around in the gym 5 x a week. Could it b that the fissure is aggravated by too much sitting?
I dunno but I just started to cry! Too much stress from surgery and now this?
Thank you for reading...I so appreciate feedback
