November 18th 2009, 4:19 pm by NeuropathicGuy Hey all, So I'm getting an abdominal and pelvic CT scan with contrast on Friday. The contrast material is a big bottle of barium sulfate. Does any have experience drinking (and more to the point, passing) barium sulfate while having an active fissure? I drank barium sulfate for an upper GI test over ten years ago and remember pooping it out as hard chalky stuff, so ...

I still feel really good. In general, wouldn't know I had anything done, other than a little itching now and then after a BM..well, that and the fact that I buy lots of Miralax. To any newbies reading this, I suggest you read through ...

I was really looking forward to surgery last week to give me some relief. didn't find any fissure! I've been home, mostly in bed, with serious pain since.

I went in, they put the IV in and administered Versed and Fentanyl, both of which I've had for other conscious sedation procedures before, so I was feeling pretty comfortable at that point. I largely conked out due to the sedative and didn't feel...

I was told to take a "pea-sized" amount, so I basically put a thin coat on the top part a finger cot that I visualize i... [ Full reading ] Comments: 8 Anyone had hemorrhoids banded before? October 31st 2009, 1:26 pm by NeuropathicGuy Hi all, I'm getting a colonoscopy this week to get checked out for any underlying causes of my fissure and also because of abdominal pains. I've had internal hemorrhoids for a while (years) and the doctor who is doing the colonoscopy says that while he's "in there" he can also do rubber band litigation on one or two of the hemorrhoids. Has anyone here had hemorrhoids band... [ Full reading ] Comments: 16 Has anyone gotten worse after Botox? October 12th 2009, 11:49 am by NeuropathicGuy Hi all, So I thought my fissure was calming down for a while, but lately it's been acting up again -- some pain and bright red bleeding during BMs (relatively minor but consistent and noticeable) has returned.
