Hi.
I am writing because my husband has been experiencing what he calls internal fissures for many years. He is 35 and says it started in his early 20s. Most of the pain he feels is internally. He has times when it is really bad and times when it is more tolerable. A few years ago, it was bad and I convinced him to go to the Dr. He had a colonoscopy and the results of that were great. They advised a change in diet and sent us on our way. But, he is basically in some degree of pain all of the time. When he goes to the bathroom, he says it hurts his "insides" as well as.. well outside. He does not talk too much about it, doesn't want to worry me. He won't consider going to see another Dr. Because, "last time I did that, all it did was cost me $500". I will look through the boards and hope to get some good tips. Any advice you could give me though is greatly appreciated!!
