my appointment with new crs is thursday. i called them today and ask if they have any cancelled appts and they had a appt for thursday. i am so happy that i might finally be able to get some help for my problems. my butt is killing me today and supposely the anal fissure is healed? i dont get this. let everyone know on thursday what happens.

Best of luck for thursday!
Don't forget - you know your body, and your pain better than they do. They may be medical experts, but they aren't always right!!
Stand your ground, and make them listen!

i will do that val, i am so sick of dealing with this bs. never having a life outside this house is getting old because of butt hurting all the time. i need my life back soon. i cant stand living this way..

Good Luck Jenny :) As Val said, stand your ground. Have your questions ready and answers to all of them before you leave!

thanks for reminding me about the questions, i am not going to leave his office until he answers them all. i just cant live in pain anymore and put up with this the rest of my life, he has to do something else for me then the other crs did. this man has 30 years experience, the other crs had just got out of med school...

Jenny-
I hope that this CRS can give you some insight.
Having questions in hand is always helpful.
One thing that I do also is keep a diary of how I feel on a daily basis. It takes under a minute to jot down a couple of notes about the day. I then use this as a reference when preparing questions for my visit.
Good luck.

thanks paul. i have been reading your posts on here and what you have went through. they have gave me alot of insight to talk to my gastro doc about. i am also having problems with digestive issues and have lost alot of weight, mouth sores, occasional dark stool. my gastro has ran blood tests and i am waiting on results. your posts are great.
