I know there has been some talk about "zingers" on this board. Perfect name for that! I'm wondering if your spasms feel like they are on the surface of your skin, under the skin, or higher up in the canal. Or if you feel they spread to other areas of the body.
Lately when I poop the pain is a 0 or a 1 on the fissure scale. When my fissures were bad it was a 10 about a year ago. I'm almost dissappointed, as my second surgery is at the end of the week and might back out. I can't live like this, but don't want my surgeon giving me a surgery just because he doesn't know what else to do with me.
I was wondering if anyone else has poops so soft, they don't feel them coming out anymore. My metamucil routine is finally down pat. And for whatever reason I think the nifedeprine has helped it (didn't help before surgery #1)
I am still left with a dull ache/crampy/hot /pressure sensation all day/night. It feels worse when sitting on a soft surface. Feels really sore on the edge of sphincter by perenium. More on the perenium side. The pain also feels like it is on the inside of the skin and in my muscle. It almost feels like it radiates further in to buttocks too, but mildly. Sorry for TMI but if I stand up and lift my butt cheeks with my hands, I can feel muscular pain all the way up to my stomach. Before when my fissure was bad it felt like salt on an open wound, now not at all. I'm too scared to get off the supplements and creams to do an experiment to see if I would totally rip open.... I also had my first shart the other day, which leads me to believe if I went 33 years without one, and am getting them now, maybe another surgery isn't the best idea. I'm going to be a basketcase until I decide what to do!
