So I have painful EDS but I also have persistent exquisitely painful issues with my anus. I can& #39;t go out because of covid-19 n I can& #39;t find or afford most necessary items anyway so I& #39;ve created a medical amazon wishlist and please consider donating/sharing https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/HF7QBANG5EO3?ref_=wl_share">https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishli...
Just to put this into context: I have three persistent tears in my anus. When I say persistent I mean I& #39;ve had them for almost F O U R years. I& #39;ve seen numerous doctors and no treatment so far has worked, primarily because I have EDS and I cannot heal. I& #39;m on the waiting list 2/7
Surgical treatment but because of covid-19 this is going to be even more delayed than it already was through the NHS. I try to stay clear of laxatives for the most part because they react extremely badly with my digestive system but sometimes the stomach pain they give me is 3/7
Fair easier to deal with than the unimaginable pain my anal fissures give me. Now I& #39;m fairly good with pain, I& #39;m in a lot of pain a lot of the time so when I tell you that this is the most painful thing I& #39;ve ever experienced, please believe me it& #39;s had competition. 4/7
I& #39;m talking pain so bad that I& #39;m overheating, crying, near screaming and clenching my hands together SO HARD that my left hand gets bruised. And that is just when going to the toilet. If you& #39;ve had persistent anal fissures, you& #39;ll know that when they get so bad 5/7
Your anus will then spasm for some time after. This, for me, will usually last upwards of eight hours. Eight hours of pulsing, burning pain. That is eight hours until I manage to fall asleep. As I said, because EDS impacts my ability to heal, the usual pain of anal fissures 6/7
