I started having pain about 6 months ago. I have had hemorrhoids for years and thought that was the pain I was having. I have 4 kids, I wait tables and I went back to school. So when I went to see the surgeon after being on suppositories for a month or two. I told him that I could not have a surgery until after x-mas. Due to the busy time of the year and school break.

Anyway, it was not the hemorrhoids, they found a fissure, well and an internal hemorrhoid but he banded that and said it healed fine. I still have such a burning sensation for hours after I have a BM. I think that the sphincterectomy helped w/the spasms but the fissure is not healed. I am going CRAZY!!!! It is so hard to function in my busy life when half the day I am in so much pain.

I drink lots of water, I take stool softners faithfully every night. I don’t have hard stools, actually my bowels are soft and the action of going isn’t painful. The pain comes about 30 minutes later. Does anyone have any advice. Did anyone still have that burning sensation like someone is putting a cigarette out on your butt. Please let me know!
