I've had longtime issues with piles. Ended up in A&E in September because one had thrombosis. They were banded in October and I'm waiting for a couple of tags to be removed in a few months under GA. So thought that was the end of my woes. Nope, she missed two and Friday night they prolapsed, Saturday I woke with the familiar "get to A&E!" pain. My partner said it's the worst he's ever seen it, normally he can keep a straight face but he looked horrified. The whole lot is purple and one is solid and hard.
Went to A&E was given yellow rating at reception before I'd even been triaged. Dr looked for about 2 seconds, didn't even touch and said he was calling surgical.
Surgical have said it's too bad for surgery so sent me home. I'm on three painkillers, anti-inflammatory and antibiotics because it's ischemic already and they said it will become an abscess as it dies.
I honestly expected the police to knock my door Saturday night as I was howling from pain. I have fibromyalgia and so much damage in my spine I walk in crutches, neither of us can remember the last time I was crying in pain, even labour doesn't phase me.
Today it's raw and bleeding, I've just got in the bath because I'm in so much pain. all around my privates are throbbing and feel kicked too. I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open but the pain is stopping me sleeping.
I have to go back to surgical in the morning to check on it. everyone thinks they're operating but the doctors said they'd risk cutting the sphincter as it's do bad they'd be going in blind, all they want to do is look.
Funny story, Mum sent Dad to pick me up. I have no idea what she told him, or what went in more to the point, but he said "so are they going to have to for a total hysterectomy?" I told Mum and all she could manage was "I'm saying nothing" my dad does live on another planet!
