I've gone through 3 prescriptions for the compounded suppositories and I canceled my surgery on Wednesday. THere has to be some alternative methods of healing. Has anyone tried any? I've gone raw vegan and it hasn't helped at all. I'm going to the bathroom all day and night and this just makes it worse. I'm pretty convinced that if I get the surgery that I will be among the 10-30 percent that have fecal incontinence. I just want to try everything before I take that step.
I can't function right now and haven't been working out for months... I'm not even convinced that it's not something more serious. My doctor said that from the outside there was nothing that looked serious. I still need to get a colonoscopy later.
Has anyone tried acupuncture or any other alternative remedies?
I hope I didn't go over on the introduce yourself topic...
This is all new to a lot of us and thank God for sites like this. Unlike most people here, I don't have the kind of medical support that most people have here. I have a doctor and a surgeon who pretty much have told me, to eat this, take this and in a few weeks you'll be okay. I hate going back to the doctors because I have to meet my 2grand deductible before they'll even consider anything else. For people like me, its all about the dollars with my healthcare providers....so I'm pretty left alone.
Thus far for me, its eat less foods, eat high fiber foods, drink plenty of liquids and wait to go through extreme pain when its time to poop. After poop, take 4 Aleve until the next round...its been that was for the last 2 months. I've tried the oils, the creams, the suppositories, the gels, and nothing eases the after pain, but the pills.
One good thing, the massive amounts of bleeding has stopped for now. Is that a good thing or bad, I have no clue. I'm just praying to God that sooner or later this thing heals on its own. Other than that, I'm just at a lost.
I wish you luck
