o my goodness, sry had to post, didnt no who else i cud ask. my bowels have been playing up the last few days (have severe ibs, possible colitis) and today its terrible. ive been poohing a lot which is ok i can deal with that but i have NEVER been in so much pain with it b4 when i actually go. i have sum pain in the quadrant that usually hurts when i go to the loo and its a bit worse than usual but i put that down to bowels being worse but the really bad pain is from the fissure (well up the back passage so i assume its thr fissure causing the trouble). all day i was passing a lot of stools, i started feeling weak and faint etc etc but the pain got worse and worse(fissure wise). then this evening i went again and it was very painful and i was passing undigested foodthat id just eaten (YUKKKK!!) im now up with diarrhoea and all in all its the worst pain ive ever felt fissure wise. ive had my fissure for yrs but was only diagnosed last yr. i no that having a fissure usually hurts anyway but its never this bad, its too the point that im too scared to even go, but of course with diarrhoea u dont get much say in the matter so i go and i just want to scream (but cant cos people are sleeping). can feel it all spasming in the belly and down below. it hurts so much i feel like i will be sick due to it. im bleeding too but that will be the fissure. i feel like a wimp but i really dunno how to deal with the pain. I need to finish pooping but im too afraid to even push. does anyone have any ideas what i sud do? I thought vaseline but i have none. is there anything i can use to ease the pain? sud i call the dr tom(if they are there as its the weekend) or is there little point? i dont no if its 'that big a deal' but i do know it hurts LOADS so i thought id ask the experts (u!) what u all think!!! thanks for any replies.
