I have posted this in general discussion but have copied it here in the hope someone may have some advice! Here goes.......
I am unsure as to what to do and thought I would think aloud! I went for my follow up appointment on Tuesday, following one round of botox last November. I saw someone different (again!) and she did an anoscopy, which has caused me problems. She said there was one tiny superifical fissure but nothing really to see. I suppose this must mean I was healing, but now am in pain yet again. She seemed to focus more on my IBS, and has now booked me in for a flexible sigmoidoscopy to check for colitis. I have already been checked for this and don't understand why I am being put through this when it will obviously cause me pain. I will be undergoing this in a week and a half, and have no follow up appointment scheduled. She said for a superficial fissure I should not be getting the pain. In my botox examination I was told I had 2 fissures, and my doctor said he saw a 3rd after the botox which seems to have healed. I'm really confused at this next examination, feel they are grasping at straws and don't know what to do with me. I feel a bit tearful again (though not like before when I got depressed) as not sure whats going on. I was told last August my fissure was superficial, it always has been and isn't healing - somehow I don't think another camera examination is going to help. Do you think I should get a second opinion? I'm beginning to think it may be the wisest option
