Hello lovely people
I am now 3 and a bit weeks post treatment and I think things are generally going well. I've got my energy back and am managing to do most things as I was before. Healing has gone well generally except the anal sphincter.
Everytime I have a BM I feel a feeling intense pain on one side, it feels like split skin opening up. The pain passes relatively quickly afterwards if I bathe it in warm water or aim the shower at it. I can feel what seems like a split in the skin, I haven't been brave enough to look in the mirror yet!
I have been using Sudocrem on it and it only hurts when having a BM or when I apply cream, when it stings briefly.
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I suppose the skin becomes ultra sensitive during treatment so splitting may occur. I have been using one Movicol sachet every night to ensure I don't get constipated.
I don't have anymore face to face appointments with anyone until 8 October and I wondered if I should contact my GP to ask about any creams that may be available, although they may well say to contact my MacMillan nurse
Thoughts welcome and many thanks, Jo x
