I finally went for the colonoscopy. It wasn't very pleasant but I got through it. I always thought this test was unnecessary. Yesterday morning that was proven correct. The only reason I went along with it was my family doctor. She took the time to write the referral and help so I thought it would be best to just get it done.
The inflammatory bowel disease explanation didn't make much sense since I did not have the typical Crohn's symptoms. The GI talked as if I did which really upset and scared me. All I have are atypical a_nal fissures meaning they are not in the usually places and a small internal pile. I have no idea why I get fissures because my bowel habits are normal. The generic fiber and water advice doesn't apply to my situation since I drink enough and eat an adequate amount of fiber. Eating too much fiber gives me more fissures so why heed their advice?
I've decided not to pursue the matter any further nor fill the cream prescription and attend followup appointments. I've lived with fissures for over five years and survived so I can survive the next five. I'm going to find some home remedies and deal with this matter on my own.
Now, I am livid and hurt. Medicine is a pain in the back passage.
