For two months, I've been dealing with a combination of what might be hemmorhoid or fissure pain. Usually when it flares up, there is a drop or two of bright, red blood on the tissue, and maybe a bit on some of the stool. It only hurts some times, and when it does, it's right on the edge of the rectum.
The doc said he couldn't find a fissure but it could be shallow. He also said I had two somewhat inflamed hemmies... but none of the stuff he's had me use has really fixed it (though it's much better than two months ago).
I've now had terrible gas for awhile, which I think is the dulcosate and/or naproxen. I'm FREAKING OUT that it could be cancer (I've had Hodgkins before), and worry that the doctor isn't aggressive enough. I guess if he felt a lump or whatnot with the digital exam he'd have done more testing... but I just go around and round in my head because my symptoms won't completely mend!
I do have anxiety, depression, etc, especially about health. With all those meds, I'm having some night sweats now too, which of course, makes my mind race about cancer again.
UGH!
