I'm so down and depressed. School won't end til June and that's the time I could go and get an LIS. In the mean time, I have to deal with this chronic AF. It hurts when I sit. It hurts when I stand. It hurts like hell when I walk! I die each time I have a BM, which happens every 2 days, because my body seems to dread a BM, and so it tries to delay it.

Is there anything I can do to relieve this stabbing pain? Sitz bath only give temporary comfort, and I can't seem to get rid of the smell on my bum. Soap stings, and rubbing the area with my hand only increases the pain.

Can you get to see a CRS and get some cream to help with the pain.
After a BM wash with the shower avoids having to wipe and shouldn't cause pain.
Also ask about some painkillers I and others have found gabapentin to be the most helpful for fissure pain.
It's very very painful but won't last forever cream and painkillers will help and LIS will sort the problem out long term

Thank you, Mypoorbutt. I had a difficult BM today, and I called the CRS - he said he can schedule me for an LIS on Monday, but I'm going to postpone it to a couple more weeks. I still have school requirements to finish. Woe is me.

hi kermit have you tried ibuprofen for pain? who is your surgeon?

Hi Paine, si Dr Cajucom, recommended by torninhell. He's kind and accommodating. I haven't tried ibuprofen, I have Advil here if ever the pain returns. Right now, I'm just hobbling and standing, I'll finish the sem first before I can undergo LIS How about you? How are you doing?

its effective for me for the pain. the lis incision site is still painful sometimes. i am considering going to another crs. i think the surgery area is not yet fully healed but the crs who operated on me said it was healed but it is annoying, with discomfort and soreness.

Oks, try Dr. Cajucom, nasa Quirino memorial sya Mondays, The Medical City naman kung Tue. I hope we recover soon~ :)
