HET procedure resulting anal fissure.

Posted , 1 user is following.

so last august i ended up in the hospital due to chronic blood loss from internal hemorrhoids. i received blood and a colonoscopy to make sure there wasn't anything worse going on. good news was just internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids. so my husband changed jobs and i had to wait till this year for the insurance to kick in so i could have some sort of treatment to stop the internal bleeding as my externals never bothered me at all i never had any pain with my hemorrhoids except after my colonoscopy where i was just a little irritated for a while. so beginning of this month i decided to see if i could have the new HET procedure and the doctor i seen said yes so i was extremely excited because there was supposed to be virtually no pain. well there was pain and still is almost 7 days after my treatment. the doctor i chose is 2 hours from my house because i couldn't find someone who preformed it here. i haven't been able to even think about getting in the car for an exam so after talking on the phone he said sometimes the procedure causes an anal fissure. I've never been in more pain in my life. he prescribed me a cream of lidocaine and diltizipem or however you spell it. i used it once and it made me burn and throb my butt got hot feeling. so i haven't used anymore. ive barely been able to eat my stool is soft but my last BM hurt so bad that ive had some pain constantly since. the sitz bath made me throb and did not ease my pain in the slightest. so far ice takes it away. but im so afraid to use the bathroom again that ive been sobbing for hours. i just want to die at this point.
