Something Seriously not right

Posted , 4 users are following.

Had my surgery about a year ago and things have been going well with a few of the externals still showing and shrinking and going. About two weeks ago i notices slight twinge when wiping and a week ago a hard lump with some pain appeared at the edge of the anal passage. The 'lump' isn't large but it's there and it is hard to touch, stings and hurts when wiping. There is NO constant pain. It does seem to shrink back in after BM but this has me seriously worried as things were progressing well and I haven't done anything that I shouldn't. No straining but occasionally a 'push' to get things moving. Has anyone had this and if so how do you solve this. Going to make a emergency appointment on Monday to see the GP and have ordered Anusol HC as this seemed to be the bast thing out there.

    The lump should go away over time. Give it a few more weeks.

    the GP told me that it is a external Hem and given me some suppositories and I've ordered some cream so hopefully this will go away as I don't relish another surgery.
