sTeaLth 238 Posted April 9, 2020 After using the restroom today I had a lot of pain near the exit that didn’t leave. I’m not freaking out or anything but it is obviously a little concerning. I’ve had a history of severe fissures when drinking carbonation. I haven’t had carbonation for months now. This is a little different. It is a bump right near the opening and there is a smaller one near it. Both are VERY sore and causing constant pain when I’m sitting or standing wrong. But they literally came on right after I used the restroom. I’m paying attention to the obvious here but need someone to agree with me. This is likely hemorrhoids or fissures I caused today, right? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes absolutely!! I had my first dealings with that after my first pregnancy and continue to deal with it from time to time..it's def a uncomfortable and strange feeling. I'm sorry that you are experiencing that 😞 I like to sit in an Epsom salt bath when mine flare up. It helps me. Hugs. I'm glad your anxiety isn't high over it!! That's good. I hope it feels better soon. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 431 Posted April 9, 2020 In September of 2019, I got sick with some type of virus. I had some diarrhea and pain when I went to the bathroom. The pain got really bad and I almost could not stand it. It was like a knife was cutting in my rear when I went to the bathroom. I went to the doctor and he said to give it time. I used vaseline and it helped. I forgot to mention I had blood too. It went a way for a while, but came back. Finally I went to the GI physician who gave me a scope and saw I had hemorrhoids and some diverticulosis. I eventually used witch hazel which really helped me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sTeaLth 238 Posted April 9, 2020 Oh man. I used with hazel for fissures before and it is amazing! I will try the bath and hazel tonight. Thanks for the responses guys. Glad to see you’re back too @Holls I was afraid all the server problems would lose some. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn’t bother me at all. I still have the general stuff though that is far more scary. Sadly, my issue from this post has not improved. I’m trying Preparation-H tomorrow. Hoping it helps. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knowing others aren't worried helps me, so thank you. I've been calmer these last two weeks. Just ready to resume some normalcy. As far as your issue . Mine took weeks. 😞 Usually when I was doing well.. I'd have a bowl movement that would take me back to square one so don't get worried if it's not better super fast. It will get better.. just slowly. Lol I love how candid we all our with one another 🙂 hugs 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
