Still having pains. Middle of Night Like...Now.

Deep anal pain. Weird. Tried pooing nope. Could be radiation damage or PRD. Took 1/2 perc to ease pain and hopefully go back to sleep. Drinking my stool softner with OJ and water.

Seeing my Radiologist later today and Surgeon tomorrow. Would rather try to 'heal' on my own over time than contemplate the 'surgery with the possible'bag outcome'. Up to them not me. 9mths post treatment. 

I recall my Radiologist saying 'it could take a year or more to heal at my age of 57!"

 Only 9mths....

....heal on Its own over time. Was so worried for months of the possibilty of sewn up **** and bag!

I went to Dentist today first time in two years...need a lot of work. Radiation and Chemo ruined my gums. Teeth in Austin Powers shape.

The Dentist was not a friendly guy. Froze me but I was too jittery with him. He wanted to do both bad teeth at once. I wasnt keen on that. One at a time please 4 hr root canals no tjanks. He got frustrated with my nerves and anxieties and sent me home without any work done. Going to attempt another Dentist tomorrow morning. Got to get 1 of the 2 bad teeth dealt with before the long Easter weekend.

Basically pain and itch in bum is Radiation Inflamation...barrier creams and baby powder in diaper to keep area dry. They want me to start up sitz baths next week again instead of using hand held shower sprayer and eventually reintroduce Epsom Salts in my baths. 

The itch is still bad daily.

Need an emergency Root Canal on tooth but can't find a dentist that will touch me cause of the Xerelto Meds I am taking for my blood clot. Seems there is NO antidote if I bleed during the procedure. They don't want lawsuits. So am suffering at home with vicious Headaches and bad nerve pain in mouth 

Spent all holiday weekend driving around from one Emergency dentist to another getting nowhere. One dentist did a partial filing which made it worst the next day throbbing nerve pain. The next day another dentist gave me a script for Metro antibiotics. Side effects...severe headaches but am still taking it every 8 hrs. You can't skip a dose to avoid the headaches cause the nerve pain comes back 10 fold.

Meanwhile my **** is a mess from the antibiotics with diarrhea and terrible sleeping problems. Putting my head on heating pad to help with the throbbing headache on my right side above my eye.

Madness!! 

5 days into the antibiotic Metronidazole 250 plays havoc with Radiated bum. Onslaught of diarrhea now. At least the vicious headaches have settled down. Side effects to this particular Antibiotic.

All antibiotics I find irritate me some way or another especially after Chemo radiation Treatment. Nerve pain better since taking this medication but have to stay on top of every 8 hours otherwise tooth nerve pain returns with a vengeance.

Hi Marc,

Hi Marc,

I drank kefir kefir during my treatments and that helped with the diarrhea.  It's also high in protein.  Barley Water is good for diarrhea.  My husband had C diff years ago and the Barley Water did the trick.  Glad your cancer is gone and I hope you find a good dentist.

Want to heal. Sick of this crunchy internsl sandpaper feeling inside. False poos' and pain. Passing small flat poos. I lie down at night..urge too poo. Nothing there...weird. Almost 10 months post treatment. Nuts!

probiotics

After my recent stomach bug I remembered that taking probiotics seemed to help settle my inards a bit after treatment. Took maybe a year until I finally tried that. So I took some again, and my butt is getting to heal again. Bought the drugstore brand that seemed to have the most strains for the least money. Maybe you could try?

Hard to go for any walks..butt cheeks rub and cause friction with Sandpaper Anus. Frustrating!!
