Need help with preventing Reoccurrence
Posted , 5 users are following.
In August of last year I developed an anal fissure. I vividly remember the day it happened and the agonizing pain. For the 5 months that followed it was torture. I was so close to having surgery. I tried EVERY and I mean EVERY remedy out there and eventually I found what worked for me (I’ll post more on that later). As of January I was completely healed. However, last month I discovered I had a hernia (most likely from all the constipation and straining etc). I had to have surgery to repair the hernia and of course pain meds following the surgery. Now I have not been to the bathroom in a week and I am terrified of tearing again. I have had the urge to go and start to go but can tell the stool is too hard to pass. Can anyone advise what to do???
I have heard mineral oil enemas can work in this situation but when I was in the height of my pain with my fissure I tried one and I swear I have PTSD. The pain was so bad that night I was literally shaking with rigors and I felt like I was coming out of my skin. I was so close to having my husband take me to the ER.
So...yay or nay on the enema?? If nay...what should I do?? 😬 I have already been taking natural calm magnesium supplement which does usually work for me but (pardon the detail) I wonder if this particular stool is just too far along for the magnesium to make a difference. I’m basically keeping it from coming out at this point because I’m scared.
Please help! 🙏??🙏??🙏??
P.S. THANK YOU for this amazing forum. It seriously got me through one of the worst times in my life. Obviously not a topic readily discussed so the info I found here was a lifesaver.
