Hey guys
New here. Great community you have. Lots of good advice. Hope you can offer some help. Had a fissure for the last 2 years or so. Since xmas I have been in agony. Been unable to get about but things are finally looking up (i can almost walk again!!!). I have a new problem however.
I no longer have pain when having a bowel movement. But instead get a terrible pain that stops me where I stand just before I go. Then I have about 5 minutes to get to a toilet before it forces its way out. I have no control of when this will happen. :(. Then another pain I havent experienced before, comes about 10 minutes after going to the toilet. And lasts several hours. Struggle to walk, Aching, Burning. Its terrible.
My stools are soft, the first part is always hard but at least I am able to actually go now. I eat only stir frys with mixed pulsed (beans). Could I be eating too many beans? Getting too much fibre... I have never had any problems with control before. My doctor says that the tear may just be in a bad location. Worried about incontinence. Can a fissure lead to this? Anybody experienced this before?
Or am I simply taking too many stool softeners and eating too many beans? I take 3 dulcoease a day, 2 sips of lactulose, and drink loads of water. Look forward to your replies guys. Take care!
