My rectrum pain

[Lamly]

I was diagnosed with IBS two years ago, but I have always had my doubts, so have one or two doctors whom I have visited in the past, I was literally told to get on with it, and offered no medication at all what so ever, my symptoms have slowly got worse over the months, and now I am in chronic pain constantly, and my rectrum is swollen and burning, I have ended up in emergency who think it may be chronic fissures the pain is to much to bare and I end up sobbing for ages even pain killers don’t help, I have been Told that I must see a colorectal surgeon but my doctors at my surgery are painfully slow and I feel I just cannot keep enduring the pain any longer, I am getting house bound with it, and over the last couple of years have lost weight, and dread going to the loo, I really don’t know who to turn to and I feel so tired and stressed about it all.

Really feel for you.....Would you be able to afford a private consultation?

Just made an appointment with a private Doctor next Tuesday I have an appointment, not getting anywhere with NHS.

So sorry, that sounds dreadful. Have you had any bleeding at all? If so, your GP should put through an urgent referral for you. If you can afford a private consultation you could probably see someone within 2 weeks but you really shouldn't have to. Perhaps try and make a face to face appointment with your GP so they can see how much pain you are in. I hope you have some luck soon.

Hi Lamly. You shouldnt be suffering the way you are. The hospital have said to see a colorectal surgeon. Go back to your gp and tell them you want a referal. He/she cannot refuse to refer you. Good luck. Also in the meantime read fissures on NHS website only.. i hope you get sorted soon. xx

it is months before I can get an appointment with a colectrol surgeon, if you don’t test for blood it takes for ever.
