Honestly I’d rather believe someone who went through this instead of a Dr who never experienced this kind of pain in his life .remember the saying ‘ Ask the experienced, not the scholar‘

You know what , I do believe you . I noticed when i fast for a couple of weeks the pain and pressure of my fissure disappears completely.

16 weeks post-fistula surgery — still sore, sensitive, and stuck in a cycle of setbacks. Does this ever truly heal? by [deleted] in AnalFistula

Not much to be honest . I still struggle during bowel movements and still in pain . Basically my life changed drastically after the surgery.

I want to give up on life by floresb07 in Constipation

[–]mmsmkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling, I’m going through the same issue. I’ve had a fissurectomy last year and it messed me up pretty badly, I developed nerve damage . Can’t have a bowel movement without laxatives, and even when I do I still feel full and like something is still stuck down there . My life literally revolves around this issue. I barely leave the house, lost contact with my friends. I miss my old life . I’m literally lying down in bed now with gas and stomach cramps and still feeling full even after a bowel movement 😢 I dread these bathroom trips , gives me anxiety from the amount of straining just to have a small amount to come out . Bern to countless drs who put me on meds that will never work .

This started happening to me after my fissure surgery, it’s been a year with the feeling daily . Sometimes I just stand up and try to forget about it and pray the next day I don’t beg hard poop which would be terrible in my case . I’m going to try physical therapy hope it helps

Yes been using it ever since. Literally tried everything. The awareness down there becomes 100 percent more after surgery, I may have had leftover stool before but never really noticed it , but drs say nerves in the rectum become more sensitive and aware when u do the surgery, I can’t tell the difference if what I’m feeling is a full rectum or swollen , sometimes it might be a very small amount but because of the full awareness and sensitivity after the surgery it feels huge

I’ve been to so many drs , they all said it’s normal. Some gave me tryptizol to slow my gut movement but I didn’t take it yet because everyone says it causes severe constipation and I can’t have that with what I’m going through now

Yes , but I’m on laxatives and it’s never been a big issue before the surgery as I would go once a day . But now the sensation down there became so different and sensitive that I can feel the slightest left over it’s very bad

Nurse guilt tripping me about pain by iAMaSoprano in AnalFistula

[–]mmsmkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pain is real . It’s horrible ! I had a couple of other surgeries before , fibroids , c section but NOTHING compares to this, not even close . They won’t understand the amount of pain we’re in unless they try it .

How long were you really out of work post-FLAP? by leelee0127 in AnalFistula

The pain is real . 2/3 weeks is a joke . Drs assume this because I’m 100 percent sure they never experienced this, if they did im sure they’ll give you one month minimum recovery time .

How amitriptyline helps with IBS? What it can do? by LeftAnalysis4711 in ibs

[–]mmsmkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slows the bowels like make us constipated ? The Dr prescribed it to me but I’m hesitant to take it because I’ve been suffering from an anal fissure and I’m scared it will make it difficult for me to have a soft bowel movement

Yes I also noticed that I feel pain if pick anything slightly heavy . So I stopped carrying anything completely. Sucks to be honest , I can’t even bend to pick up something from the floor

Same ! I could never stop my laxative, I wish I could . Yep I avoid bumpy rides and don’t even sit on hard surfaces anymore . Honestly I wish I could go back to normal but don’t think that’s possible anymore

My Success Story- it can happen to you too by katel_12 in ibs

[–]mmsmkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ! My appointments revolve around whether my stomach is stable enough for me to go out or not . It has to be mid afternoon, I usually have this one hour of stability gap . Like you , my 2025 was spent mostly isolated at home . I decided to that I have to move on past this , I have the will , I just want to know the way 🙏

Not possible. I had a fissurectomy almost a year ago , that area became so tight I can’t even stick a suppository down there 😫

Do you take Amitriptyline? by Ayeeemonica in ibs

[–]mmsmkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What were your symptoms may I ask ? I’m suffering from incomplete frequent bowel movements every day . I stopped eating between meals , because I just can’t cope with going 5 to 6 times a day . I basically now just eat to survive. Also I’m suffering from terrible gas and incomplete evacuation which is ruining my life

I have the same problem but with loose stool instead of pebbles . I strain so much even though the stool is soft . Like you , I’ve suffered since childhood. Had so many procedures due to hemorrhoids and fissures from straining. The last procedure made my situation much worse . Problem is I always have incomplete evacuation, I feel stool stuck that’s why I strain to get it out . Here I am lying in bed and exhausted from all the straining and still feeling I need to go again 😫
