Need help doctor doesn't know problem.

Postby ithurts » 10 Oct 2012, 17:44

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, and I'm 24. I've been suffering with so much pain and I feel hopeless. Here the back story I 4 years ago I had a foreign object cause trauma to my anus and ever since I've been bleeding and feeling pain. I went to a general surgeon 2 years after as I couldn't take it anymore, and he performed an LIS surgery. Which Helped and I felt amazing for 3 months, I started cycling and exercising everyday, and the bleeding had completely stopped. I could feel that it wasn't completely healed but it was on its way.
After those 3 months the bleeding returned. After multiple failed appointments I got to see him 6 months later and he put a band on a hemroid. Which got rid of it, but the bleeding didn't stop. I'ts dark blood, mucus and red blood. The anus also gets itchy and burns while taking my stools.
I just saw the doctor a few days ago and he doesn't know what the problem, he claims everything looks fine. The fissure is healed and the hemroid is gone. The doctor told me to take Anusol and sitz baths for 6 weeks until I see him again. I took the Anusol as I previously did and it started to cause huge spasms and pain. I'll have to stop taking it as I'm in huge pain right now.
I feel really depressed and I don't know what to do, I hardly walk around or move anymore, which resulted in lots of weight gain. I'm kind of desperate right now as every time I go to the Emergency room they brush me off and tell me to wait and see the general surgeon for my next appointment.

ithurts- I also think i have a hem that is keeping my pain alive. Just a thought- i read online that having it banding can make the muscle spasm. Do you feel tight? or like it is spasming? or is it just one area (hemorrhoid) where it hurts? If it is a spasm you could possibly ask your crs if he would consider botox. Have you tried diltiazam or nitro? THe nitro works much better for me.

I went to the emergency room and got referred to a specialist I finally met up with him and we did a Colonoscopy. I had to take all these drugs that made me poop all day and I could feel my butt burning on the left side of my colon while I did my bowel movements.
After the Colonoscopy was done the doctor didn't even talk to me to explain anything, I had a nurse hand me a letter that said. Opinion: This colonoscopy was normal - no cancer , no polyps, no inflammation - I suspect his bleeding is either outlet bleeding or a fragile vein - neither of which has any consequence....
I was very angry and upset after I was handed this letter and was told to leave. I don't care if he didn't find anything harmful I want my life back and I want to fix my problem. I don't know what to do next, this is so depressing. Everytime I do my bowel movements I feel burning and my poop is black, with dead skin cells...
Please someone help.

I'm so sorry u are dealing with so much Ithurts. My story is similar to yours. I Had LIS 6 months ago but my LIS was a failure acording to CRS. So know I still have fissures plus Lie wound that wont heal. I too have been to emergency rooms only to be dissmissed and wait months for an appoiintment with a specialist. Now I have an appointment to get a colonoscopy on Jan 2 and I know I will also get handed just a paper with my results. I know how you feel. U don't want to be put through any more pains u just want a solution so u can get back to your life. I really hope u find an empathetic CRS that will help u find the solution! Wishing you the best hope u start to feel better soon.
