Hi guys (and belated Merry Christmas!)
I've not been writing on here for a while as work has been super busy and have been soldiering on with movicol every day and anoheal. I'm not healing, I'm still in pain every time I have a BM but I can work and walk and sit and socialise so I definitely don't have it as bad as many on here.
This week though I've started to have a lot of pain and I'm not sure if it's from a retear or something worse. Normally if I have a retear I'm not in pain the whole day, just during and after I go to the loo. This feels like this sort of 'full' feeling, its kind of hot and burning and sore all the time. My skin tag has swollen up to double its normal size and I also have this small kind of painful lump near it but more on the outside. I don't think there's any discharge but I'm a bit worried it's got infected. It does feel worse than a retear as it's more continuous and I'm getting paranoid about abscesses and fistula's...
I have an appointment with my doc tomorrow morning but if someone with any similar experiences could let me know what they think, it would be amazing. I am so used to day to day pain with this that it worries me that it's suddenly got so much worse.
