Hello all,
Ive only posted on here one other time, but I love to read the advice you all give. Well I'm 5 days post op, had a fissurectomy with botox this past Friday and I must say I was pretty uncomfortable Saturday and Sunday, and my first poop was actually ok but i havent been so lucky since then. I'm eating high in fiber, taking my stool softeners, sitz baths and only using pain meds when needed but it now hurts EVERY time I poop, and it burns A LOT. I'm still so so swollen, no matter how many baths the swelling never seems to go down. It also burns, a lot. My CRS told me to continue using RECTIV but OMG it burns sooo badly to put it on, and wiping is merrily impossible its just so swollen to even touch the area is too painful to bare. Is this normal? If so, is there anything I can do to help with the burning and swelling? My CRS is GREAT but because she is great shes always so so busy, I can never catch her, i usually have to leave a message for her PA and I'll get a call back the next day, but I don't want to call about every issue, i had surgery and I expect Ill be in a certain amount of pain so I don't want to call if this typical, but like how am i supposed to wipe, i cant get past the swelling and if i try i feel like ill pass out from the pain. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks guys
