Hello All,
First off I have been browsing this page for the last month and the information has been amazing!
I thought i was on the upward end of things until yesterday.
Ok so background.
Got diagnosed with AF one month ago
1st question - how do you know if its an AF, I went to the doctor and he looked and said he didnt see one, didnt use a scope or anything and diagnosed with me with an AF.
Symptoms - had really bad constipation, passed it. Now I have sharp pain with every BM and blood every single time I wipe.
Ok so I went a month, upped my fiber intake to 38g a day (meticulous about this), drank the 8x8 rule for water, everyday, and sitz bath everytime I had a BM (only one BM a day), I was still having blood every time until last week. I had no blood and no pain for about 5 days.
So I started cycling again, rode about 10 miles over 4 days and now its worse than ever!!
So yesterday I had my usual BM, more blood than ever.
Then I had another morning BM and this time there was blood in the water, blood all over the stool, although less blood on the paper (assuming because it was all in the water)
Now im having almost a burning sensation after this last BM
2nd question - is this the infamous re-tear? are they usually much worse than the original?
I've never had this much
Thanks in advance, im wondering if i need to go back to the doctor earlier than my monthly check up
Starting to think this will never heal
