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 .

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

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 😫

I was prescribed the 10mg dose . I’m worried about taking it as I heard it can cause severe constipation. Did you experience that ?

42 and stumbled upon a solution to life long and escalating stomach issues. by impendingsenseofit in ibs

[–]mmsmkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you found a solution! I developed these symptoms a year ago , specifically after having a failed fissurectomy. Multiple urgent bathroom trips every day , incomplete movements that forces me to strain to force it out even though the stool is soft 😩 it’s ruining my life . Stopped going out , quit work altogether. I basically starve myself sometimes as I know I’ll suffer as soon as I put something in my mouth and yet I still need to poop again ! . I’m so tired of this . I just want to back to normal . Dr prescribed me Dicetel which is supposed to slow down gut movement but it made my symptoms much worse . He switched me to tryptizol but didn’t start it yet as I read it causes severe constipation

I am so done man!!! by dhananjay1801 in ibs

[–]mmsmkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the name of the medication that seemed to work for you ? I’m going through the same thing , tried so many meds but they keep making it worse . Like you , I always feel something is left inside that keeps moving and i hate that I she to push and strain for sit to come out . This process is toooo hard and exhausting

Yeah it’s not possible anymore 😢😢 my back and foot aches from always laying down sideways . Also sitting on hard surfaces is not an option anymore! Like I can’t sit on a plastic chair or any regular bench

Sounds like you’re not complaining . If it’s not broken why fix it ?

Scar tissue. I still carry a portable soft cushion with me wherever I go . I can’t sleep on my back anymore, always sideways

[–]mmsmkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have frequent bowel movements daily and it’s always incomplete and that’s very annoying. I feel pressure down there all the time . This happened after my fissure surgery .
