[b]I'm 51 years old and i think its a fissure (around the 5:00 position) that has re-opened..mmm, but, I'm going back to see my gastro, Doctor, next week too see whats going on. [/b]
I'm new to the much needed site, thank you. I just registered, but a little confused on how to post or bring up a page to talk about my fissure issues.with others or my own issues. My Gastro, Doctor
gave me an ointment 0.2 % nitroglycerine and xylocaine 5%. The pain after a bowel movement wither its soft, thin. loose doesn't matter, the excruciating pain goes on for hours..
hens my user name, as " I cry, Please go-away! ".
she gave my Metamucil, I'm to increase my water to 10 cups a day (really) oh my. Well to conclude I took the Metamucil with some lite fibre foods and plenty of water....And the result, major bowel explosion of diarrhea, typical blood on toilet paper and from then on...5:00 p.m till the we hours of the night the pain (even after applying ointment, it was my first application) was enough to crawl in front of traffic..oh my! I called the digestive health clinic (where after my Colonoscopy, the doctor discovered Diverticulitis(my diverticulitis is mild and no pain) and hemorrhoids with they thought at the time a healed over fissure. I re-booked my appointment, to go in earlier on the date of
Wednesday. June /12.
The ointment didn't give me any headaches and I feel it didn't work. Nor did it make me feel dizzy as my doc thought it would, maybe its too early, being my first application.....Oh my I could go on for ever, my poor sisters I called them all night, everybody has there suggestions/advice, eat, don't eat..take this, take that..lol. Well so far I've had jello, chicken broth and water.My bowels are empty any way.
Thank you again for a great site and I'm sure as I speak for every one, a very compassionate and much needed web site. Thank you.
signed....Please go-away! :( P.S I think I figured out how to post my talk,,lol
