Hi everyone :)
Nice to be here on this forum where it looks like lots of people are helpful with lots of issues.
I hope someone can relate to what I am currently experiencing. My anxiety is at an all-time high.
Back in September, I suffered a round of diarrhea that I had a hard time getting under control. I finally figured out that the coffee I was drinking was making me sick. Now, I have been a diehard coffee drinker for 30 years...never had a problem with it, but I think those days are over.
Anyway, I developed a really bad case of thrombosed hemmies. All around my behind. They hurt like hell. I saw my GP and she said my posterior looked "impressive" and she informed me that I could wait it out or see a specialist. Well, you know, I don't really like doctors very much and I figured, how long can this take?
So it's nearly 3 months later and I was in the ER this past weekend. I felt like my butt was going to explode. The doc there said she could see where I had one small hemmie left, but that my problem was my anus is completely inflamed. She said she didn't know why--maybe the trauma of the past 3 months was causing it.
All I know is I have been taking pain relievers and sitting on ice all weekend. I'm afraid to move because I don't want to feel bad. Suffice to say, I am scared. I feel like I am never going to feel normal or good again.
Anyone else ever been through this?
I appreciate any words of advice and that you took the time to read this.
Thank you.
