Hey everyone,
I feel like I'm at a loss. I actually had felt like the fissure was healing until Friday. I was diagnosed with mastitis and put on an antibiotic that has given me horrible diarrhea and reflux. It was so painful I went to the Urgent Care today in which they prescribed me a different antibiotic that has also given me diarrhea. To make matters worse the Rectiv I have been using (which does give me headaches and make me dizzy but I've just been sucking it up and continuing it) put me over the edge and I decided I have to stop using it, as the vertigo I experience is even interfering with my sleep and giving me anxiety.
So now I feel like I'm back to square one and my bum feels like its on fire and someone cracked my tailbone with a baseball bat.
I am going back to the proctologist tomorrow. I'm praying that he'll be able to give me a different drug or some insight on what I can do. I can't stop treatment for the mastitis because it can come back worse.
Has anyone had the same issue with antibiotics? How did you handle things? I've tried warm baths, zinc on the area. I also tried diltiazem for 2 weeks but didn't feel like it was helping so he gave me the Rectiv instead.
Is this thing ever going to heal?? I feel so discouraged and depressed.
