Hi all. I have read all the messages about your surgeries. This scares me a bit being I am heading in that direction. I have been having severe pain and bleeding with each stool movement. I am only 26 years old and have had severe constipation since I was a newborn. I have tried it all but nothing works for me. I have even went to the extent of being on a liquid diet or all fiber diet. Nothing works and I am so wore out from this. I went in and had a colonoscopy the middle of May 2006 and the doc said that I have an anal fissure. He tried Anusol suppositories and cream plus some other meds to try and heal it. Being I am always constipated, it just continues to irritate it and rip it further. I have an appointment this Friday to talk about surgery. I am scared but anything would be better then the pain that I go through on an daily basis. I can do nothing to make it better. Laying does not help nor does sitting (the worst) standing or any other position. When I am forced to sit on my butt I actually sit on my hip or lean to my side. That is barely tolerable at that. If there is any advice on how to manage the pain that I am in til the surgery please feel free to let me know. I would be most greatful to all of you. Thank again- Becky
