Hello,
hope everyone is well... so this is my painful experience with AF! it all started 4 weeks ago when i had severe constipation and tried to force it out (huge mistake!). but it was not very painful initially till the next week where i was constipated again and had another similar event, however this time the pain was so intense, had to get admitted to the EDU where i was put on painkillers! Each BM after that has been agonising and sometimes it gets worse after 2 hours!
I consulted a gastroenterologist who adviced me to get a colonoscopy done which was the wort experience i've faced due to the prep. Anyways he found 3 hemmorhoids and ligated them and put me on BETAPYN and DILTIGESIC. i have also been on fybogel and duphalac to soften the stool, but this hasn't helped much. Every BM is painful of about 9/10!!
The gastroenterologist doesn't seem to be following up on the matter and hasn't communicated to me since the colonoscopy.
Now i'm considering seeing another surgeon for a second opinion and find out if LIS is needed... From the stories i've read, alot of people recommend LIS rather than the treatment by creams and all... But i don't know whether to get the LIS at this early stage or continue with the treatment he has prescribed... HELP ANYONE?!!
