hi there,
i think i got a fissure from a hard bowel movement while on vacation, but this dr. gave me cortisone suppositories, told me to get a colonoscopy when i got home. he said he thought he saw inflammation "up there" and no fissure or hemmerhoid.
i was given cortisone suppositories which helped a lot.
after returning my GI here gave me 5asa which did nothing so i am back on the cortisone suppositories. it is keeping me on hold. not much better or worse.
i don't think i have colitis or proctitis however, i don't have any bleeding or pus. the more i read, it sounds like the return of a fissure. i got one i believe (although CRS could never see it) in 2011 and it took a long time to go away..
problem was, last time, in 2011, the meds gave me a headache and i couldn't use them. nitro, and the other one.
?: what now? stop the cortisone? is it doing me harm? see the CRS again?
i ask because i am finally coming to the conclusion that this is what is going on, not proctitis.
many thanks.
