Anal Fissure Surgery
by Nissan22, Jul 11, 2008 05:57PM
I had anal sphincterotomy surgery about 3 weeks ago and I thought I would be feeling much better by now. I've been following the diet and taking the medications as directed. I no longer have excrusiating pain or bleeding while going to the bathroom but now have the following issues:
A few minutes after every bowel movement, I go into total spasm, my butt check is ultra sensitive near the surgery site and a part of this area is also rather hard. I just finished a cycle of antibiotics (Flagyl) in case this was an infection. I still can't sit (still laying on my side) and walk like I just got off of a horse. The throbbing is enough to make me feel like I'm going insane.
I've been applying presciption strength lidocaine ointment and most recently started applying Nitro Ointment into the anal canal.
I am looking for any advice: Is this normal? Should I be concerned? I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
