and I am a nervous wreck! I am really worried about the general anesthesia. Is it true no makeup, deodorant, etc. in surgery? I have not been given any instructions on this. Can someone help?
I am new to these boards, but from reading, I just don't have the pain that everyone else describes. I have not noticed any muscle spasms, and have pain and blood only with a BM. This has been going on for close to a year. I thought it was internal hemorrhoids and kept putting off getting it checked out. The pain got pretty intense though with BMs, but that is basically the only time it hurts. It does itch quite a bit.
I saw a colorectal surgeon on Monday, and he diagnosed a fissure and said it would not heal on its own because of scar tissue and the deepness of the actual fissure. He could not believe I was not in pain.
Thanks for listening, :D
