It's now nearly 4 years since I was first diagnosed with AF. Although the level of pain has dropped a bit since the first 2 years, which were real hell, I still have a lot of discomfort, both sitting and walking, and also at night, and am going to see a CRS tomorrow to discuss options. For a long time I've put off the decision about what to do, but having changed GPs and not having made much progress, I feel I will have to bite the bullet and pay attention to what the CRS tells me. So far no CRS has recommended any intervention beyond creams, ointments and Movicol - but perhaps tomorrow I will get a different answer. It's more than a year since I last visited this specialist, so I will be curious to hear what he says.
