Hi all,
I first started having pain last February. After a colonoscopy, they said I had internal hemorrhoids. The bleeding and pain didn't go away after prescribing Anucort suppositories (hydrocortisone). The pain at the initial onset in February was very swollen and higher up - like right below my tail bone. It hurt to run or move quickly due to the swollen feeling - much different from the spasms associated with a fissure. It wasn't until July when I was told that I had a fissure and it was unlikely the hemorrhoids were causing so much pain.
Recently, I have done two rounds of Botox and have been feeling good with almost no blood (most days there's nothing). However, the last few days, that swollen feeling has returned - very different that the AF spasm pain. Do you think it's likely that my hemorrhoids are getting worked up again?
My concern is that if they are, that it's going to set my AF back in the progress it has made.
I have contemplated taking the Anucort again (I have some leftover) to help keep the problem from escalating. Is it okay to take Anucort with a fissure, or could that set me back more?
I see the doctor on Tuesday, but I'm just very nervous that this is going to get a lot worse in the next three days.
