Hey guys. I’ve been suffering from fissures (multiple it feels like) for years now. I’m 24 and it started when i was 21, ( had this same feeling about 6 years ago but it went away after 6 weeks, this time it never went!) where I poop and if it’s hard I get sharp pains around my anus ( feels like 3 or 4 spots that hurt) followed by hours of throbbing cramping pain deeper up in my anus, then it subsides.
Gp had a quick look a while ago and saw it was a fissure and put me on movicol ( miralax ) which I’m still on, which helps so much keeping my stools soft. Sometimes I’ll get the throbbing an hour after I poop but I don’t get pain while I pass a stool when taking movicol, only sometimes after for a bit.
Anyway I’m getting a colonoscopy done now, he said there’s a chance I may have ibd, or even rectal cancer!!? I don’t have any other symptoms, apart from if I eat spicy food the next morning I’ll be on the toilet sometimes for an hour or 2, gives me stomach burning cramps and I’ll poop about 3 times, each poop getting softer until it’s all out, then I’ll feel better. I also get discomfort sometimes if I eat to much fibre the day before. But this is rare, and I think it’s normal, or may be ibs.. anyway I’m wondering if recital cancer is a possibility, I’m 24 and don’t pass blood or anything anymore, although I had a tiny bit of blood a couple years ago when it first started, after a real hard stool. And it would only be a coin size worth on the toilet paper.
