It almost feels as if something has been inserted behind my tailbone and inflated.Ĭould anybody with similar symptoms or knowledge in this area please help with some advice? My concern is that the rectal pressure is still here. I have also felt pretty fatigued but this may be due to lack of food. I have struggled with appetite and lost 6lbs in 6 days. I have an appointment to discuss this tomorrow with the doctor. Stool sample has just came back with no inflammatory markers so I assume this rules out IBS/IBD. I have to be checked again in 3 months regarding the elevated iron levels. Bloods came back fine with high iron levels. It seemed I couldn't fully empty the bowels and the rectal/tailbone pressure was constantly there regardless of what I did.Īfter another doctors appointment I was sent for a blood test and a stool sample was requested. I was prescribed cream for the fissure and laxatives for the constipation.Īfter laxatives I began to go to the toilet but not as I normally would do. This has never caused such a dull ache higher up the rectum so I was a little frustrated at my symptoms being linked to this. This was a small stinging cut around the anal opening. I already knew this as had been advised of this previously. Around 10 days ago I began with constipation and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the rectum/tailbone area.Īfter booking in at the doctors I was advised I had an anal fissure.
