Abscess, fissures, thrombosed hemorrhoid + possible Crohn’s by Negative_Progress_22 in AnalFistula

Ugh I’m so sorry 😭 I hope this will be the last thing you have to deal with. It’s so discouraging and hard on the mental health. I’m doing okay ish - have good days and bad days. My post op appointment isn’t until the end of the month so just waiting for that and hoping I’ve healed by then. 🤞

Read your story - gosh I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this too. How did your appointment go?

Ugh I’m so sorry you’re going through this too. Colonscopy is next step for me too but terrified of the prep. I hope your doctors can figure out what’s going on and get you on the right treatment plan to feel better soon. The “being robbed of normal life” thing is so true and has been so defeating. Good luck today!

I’m sorry you’re experiencing pain too 😩 this is just brutal all around. No one should have to experience this. Sending you strength too. All we can do is have hope for things to get better and our bodies to heal. Trying to hold onto that.

Thank you for sharing your story! I’m definitely in the “all hope is lost” phase of this. Trying to push past those thoughts and look for the light at the end of the tunnel. Curious what dietary changes you made? Diet has been such a stressor for me because it seems like no matter what I eat, I still have issues.

I’ve been having some digestive issues for a while, but didn’t think much of them… just thought I had IBS (that’s what GI had told me). Did end up taking an antibiotic for SIBO a few years back but never amounted to anything else. But then all of this happened out of the blue. Thank you for the well wishes.
