I had difficulty awhile after takedown with butt burn and having to many bowel movements to being stuck all the time. Had a couple dilations and then finally another surgery to remove scar tissue that was making it tough to pass anything thru the very restricted area.
had follow up appt and still was not better. Lightbulb went off and dr asked about childbirth and size of babies etc . And suggested perhaps I had pelvic floor problems. Suggested I go To pelvic floor therapy. I had no idea there was such a thing. I now love it and actually look forward to going, now down to once a week. I'm sure insurance won't pay for therapy forever which scares me. I have gotten better but still have difficulty passing foods. I pay for having too many carbs in a day. Still can't eat certain foods that may get stuck- apples, beans due to the husk or hull, rice slows the process... And when I am clogged I itch and burn terribly until I can pass. I am feeling defeated and thinking this is now my life! I have stayed very positive throughout this ordeal but it's getting tough! A little mad at the doc since he even mentioned that at the connection the staples and process weren't good for me since I am so small. The staples all clustered together and never healed properly. That's why I needed the cleanup surgery and then was sewn together. I feel like this whole year was due to a mistake in his part and could have been avoided and now not sure about my future. Of course told the surgery would make my life better etc and I'm just not feeling it. I really don't think it's foods that I have a problem with but the restriction. anyone have these problems? Am afraid to ask for more surgery for scar removal... Doesn't that just cause more scarring?! No thanks!
