Finally a specialist appointment...

I am looking forward to an appt in 2 days with a specialist in proctology and she is a colon surgeon and does pelvic floor therapy as well.

My hemerrhoids - or whatever this is - are not getting better. Keeping the constipation under control with diet, water, miralax and occasional stool softener.

I'm certain I have either hemerrhoids so bad they need surgery or some sort of fissure or fistula

We shall see. I am grateful I found a woman (who wants to go into this specialty?) and I am hopeful. Prayers accepted - I will share what she tells me.
