Hi
I have had a fissure for about 2.5 years on and off since becoming pregnant and having serious constipation (I never suffer from constipation usually). During labour I also developed haemorrhoids, but these have never been severe. I have had 2 operations (Botox) and the Diltiazem cream and have learnt my own coping strategies which usually allow me to get on with life, but since I had my last botox and banding of the haemorrhoids operation (6 weeks ago), I have been in excruciating pain and I cant understand what's changed.
I am so down, I cant think straight when I am in pain, none of my usual coping strategies are working, I have a 18 month old boy and its just affecting my life so much. I dont know what to do next.
I was in so much pain and crying on Thursday that my husband called the ambulance, which I wasnt sure about at first, but to be honest the relief I felt when they gave me morphine and gas and air was worth it, just for a small bit of respite.
Every day is the same, and I just haven't got the mental strength to fight it now.I cant understand why it is worse than its ever been now after the last operation. My stools are like liquid - so to have pain as well isnt usual? Soft stools usually make the pain go away?
Does anyone have any experiences of things getting worse (a lot) after operations?
The spasm used to last a couple of hours, now its 8/9/10 hours and its awful.
They are now talking about an advancement flap, but I'm not sure if this is a good idea, if anyone has a similar experience I would love to hear from you.
So depressed, just want it to end now, I cant live a normal life.
