Why me?!

Postby Painedandconfused » 16 Aug 2012, 19:35

Hello all. New to the forum but have been reading posts for a few weeks now. About me: 24 yr old healthy female. I have always had normal bowel movements until about 2 1/2 months ago. I guess it was a mixture of cookouts, Mexican food and way too much alcohol that led me to the worst sh** of my life! I walked out of the bathroom at the pool in my apartment complex and told my mom I think I just shit a baby lol. Never did I think that would still be affecting me to this day. That is when my fissure developed and I knew something was not right after a few horrible days of spasms and too scared to use the restroom. My husband and mom kept telling me to go to the doctor but I couldnt bring myself to do it. A few weeks passed and things seemed to be getting better. No pain during bowel movements and mild spasms for maybe an hour after. I thought it was going away. A week later I was pain free but noticed a pea size lump that was tender to the touch. Still didn't go to the doctor (stupid!!). Soon after it opened and I noticed a small amount of puss. I had read about abscesses but convinced myself this wasn't one because of the small size and no odor. That was about a month ago. Fast forward to today...I finally "womaned" up and went to a specialist last Thursday. I was told I have a FISTULA and the damn fissure is still there!! I have an appointment Tuesday for an ultrasound(?) I'm so upset with myself for not going to the dr sooner. I'm sure I'm going to have to have surgery which scares me to death, not to mention taking all that time off work!! What do you tell coworkers?! Aye I hate my b-hole right now!!! :) thanks for reading :) this forum has helped me to know I'm not the only one dealing with this
