Too many Tumors!!!

This is kinda personal, but I thought I'd share. things have been happening "down south" for me the past 10 months. I have had some Thrombosis Hemmerhoids. I drink so much water, I don't have constipation (at least not often). Well 10 days ago I had one form and wake me up during the middle of the night. It was about 1 1/2" long and probably 1" wide. I promptly went to the doc to get it carved out of my a$$ again. Yes boys and girls, I said again. Actually it was the third time for me. Well when the doc got down there she was horrified. She told me I had to go and see the specialist. So, 6 days after my last carving, I went in for another one. This time the specialist had lots to say (okay I mean for the first time) she told me that a: she'd have to carve it down to the muscle to get rid of it b: that if it would have been ANY bigger she'd of made me have the surgery which involves being off for 3-6 weeks. c: she was stunned that I had actually been working during this time of pain and agony. d: Not only did I have one, but another bad boy was forming and she carved that one out too! She cut so much away that I am bleeding like nobody's business, but she was amazingly gentle. I'd recommend her to anyone. But I feel sick from the pain meds. I mean barfy and sweaty. I'm taking percocet which is what my GBP surgeon told me was okay. I'm laying down and feel aughful. This is the longest I've sat. Has this happened to anyone else? I mean really all of these hemmerhoids and now feeling like crap from meds I've taken in the past. Comments? Suggestions? RNY 10/31/03 257/130

Been there. Done that. Shortly after RNY surgery I developed an anal fissure along with hemmorhoids (just ordinary not thrombosis type thank goodness). The fissure is a tear, hurts horribly, and for me and most people won't heal. Surgery means reducing the effciency of the sphinter muscle by cutting it slightly. This allows the fissure to heal. It has side effects though. I'll let you google search anal fissure for all the fun news. I went through all the other options prior to surgery but nothing worked. The pain was, well... memorable, before the surgery allowed the fissure to heal. After that healed, I had a hemmorhoid surgery. He didn't cut or simply puncture my hemmorhoids, but instead "installed" in place a stainless steel ring of staples. Think that over for a while. I wonder if I can go through an airport metal detector now. Ha! No problems since and I just have to live with the difficulty of retaining "gas" Thank goodness I'm a man and people aren't surprised by a "gassy" man!

Hey Girl! You sure like to keep it exciting over there! I sure hope you feel better soon. Is everything ok? Do you have to have anymore surgery? You take care of yourself. Love, Your Buddy Jane

"HOLY BUTT HOLES" Joe! I'm laughing what's left of my hind end off! I do this only because I can actually laugh at my own painful situation. A ring of staples!! OMG!!! I have been too terified to actually look down south since this last episode on Tuesday. The friggin tumor was aughful enough to view, now I wonder exactly how much is left of my "end zone" to view. I know I still have something down there because it still hurts like a motha! Jane...thank you so much for posting too! You're always so supportive. I guess if I just don't have enough turmoil, I need to find ways to get it goin' on. I have a court date on 4/12. It's with the magistrate, not the judge. Kinda weird. The upside is he's the "Moms Magistrate" so hopefully things will be good for me. I'm not holding my breath because I have always been pulled through the ringer with Son of Satan. Thanks for the input guys and gals and thanks for letting me share.
