Hi all...........I have had problems with an AF for the last five weeks. Dr said it was small.......it started to seem to go away but after a pretty bad BM ..made it worse. Basically...... yes I have the problem of painful BM but my real concern is the anal sphincter and the part of the body between the genitals and the anus are numb. Feels a bit like when the dentist has numbed your gum.Especially when wiped. It also feels at times like it is swollen. I am a male and it seems to affect ejaculation and at times urination. I think this purely because it seems to have happened all about the same time. Dr has swabbed for STDs and all clear.
There is no bleeding..... I have just started on Rectogesic ( third day) and getting headaches but not so bad to give it up. I am also light headed and anxiety is getting more and more as I am scared it is more than just a fissure. Is any of this normal with an AF?
Thanks for any comments ... :)
