Bit of a taboo i know…but has anyone any tips on how to combat these buggers AND spend maybe 8 hours a day sitting on your arse?
I’ve been in agony since a course of antibiotics at start of january had a week off mid jan with them, which seemed to ease it a bit, but was back a week and a half and then developed a massive perianal haematoma…think blood clot in a pile which wont go back up…think
Went private [via wifes BUPA] at the weekend to get it drained under a general anasthetic, would have cost too much waiting on 6 months for the NHS to get round to me, but not looking good for returning to work this week either
the next time one drops and clots, puncture it and call your doctor out.
its messy I know but my doc sent me straight to hospital and I had them all cut out, never had one since.
mine burst by the way, I didn’t puncture mine deliberately but the principle is the same

Ouch! I can understand the principle and the desperation but that sounds a little drastic and may I say a little dangerous . Has there been much improvement since the BUPA appointment?

Cant imagine anything more painful to be honest, but the way this dragging on may need something that drastic

Only until the Morphine wore off, unfortunately.
Its almost as bad as ever now, have a feeling haematoma is masking an abcess, was gonna try goin back to work today, but not a chance…cant sit and have to lie in bath every time i go to the loo
if they put you under general to drain one, why didn’t they remove them all while you’re out.
its obvious you have a problem, they should’ve got rid of the problem while you were under.

This time I agree with Steve you obviously need to kick up a fuss because you need help, you can’t keep carry on suffering like you are doing.
He literally had 30 mins theatre time to get me in and drain the haematoma, says anything major at moment down there would leave me heavily scarred and potentially incontinent
Have been back to hospital since to get it looked at, and talked to surgeon on phone, but he says will have to let it subside gradually [4 weeks] then get the whole lot lasered off
If it would go down enough to let me sit it would at least be a start.
