Ok, so this seems to be something not discussed much here.
Problably because none of us like sticking our fingers in up that far. It is sore enough just get the cream where it counts!
So for a while I've been noticing a kind of pricking feeling, like a poke or something. I knew it had to do with the fissure, but it wasn't a painful feeling or even sore. Just annoying and uncomfortable. It happens mainly before and just after a BM.
I think it is, drum rolllll...... "Hypertrophy of the anal papilla". quite a mouthful!
I put my little finger right up there and could feel it this morning. A wobbly bit of tissue sticking up the opposite of the way the sentinel sticks down.
Does anyone else have this, get this sensation?
I am hoping that after the fissure is fully healed (and I think I am getting close! touch wood and whistle), the tissues will subside. The hypertrophied whatever and the sentinel. I can live with the sentinel, but the other would be a real drag and might be a cause to bring the AF back in the future.
Any ideas?
I will definitely ask my original CRS (dr. Pezim) on the 29th when I see him. I did ask the second CRS (dr. Phang), but he said he didn't see anything. But he didn't look up that far. He just kinda spread my anus a bit, but didn't scope.
-sigh-
I will call the NATCM clinic today too and set up a consultation with them.
They are expensive, but maybe I need to pay $ to get a doctor to pay attention and actually give me the time of day?
Thanks for listening!! I don't know what I'd do without you guys and my mother!

p.s on the bright side I am definitely healing and my iron levels feel much better. I feel like a new woman. No more waking up like I am buried in sand!
