Had my follow up appt. with the colo rectal surgeon today. My skin is healing finally but the fissure(s) still painfully present. He wants to give my skin and I think he also meant fissure(s) (I don't know if they are counted as multiple) a chance to heal before he does any testing that might upset them both again. So if I'm doing better i another 4 wks he's going to do an anoscopy. Have any of you had this done? I've looked it up but I'd like your opinion. He said it could be done awake or with anethesia. I told him I didn't think I could handle it awake since the 'digital' exam was really difficult to handle and quite painful. Did anyone have this while awake or under anethesia?
Also he's pretty sure I have CD in my rectum as well as in my terminal ilieum (sp?). This is the first I've heard of me having CD anywhere else besides my terminal ilieum...any idea what having CD in the rectum entails???
