Think I might have one but not a ton of pain?
I have chronic constipation. I’ve managed it pretty well with MiraLAX. I started tracking my stools a month ago and I go almost every day, sometimes skipping a day or rarely two. Even when pooping everyday I can still feel constipated. I haven’t popped in 4 days and a couple days ago I felt around my butthole and thought it felt weird, but when I looked with my camera I didn’t notice, I looked today and I noticed that a part of the “ring” has a “bubble” almost if that makes sense. I have noticed the past week or so that passing stool has been a bit more painful, but not like oh FUCK painful. Is this an anal fissure? I just feel so disgusting right now and insecure about my ugly butthole lol. I work outdoors and 6 days a week so I probably don’t take as much MiraLAX as I need to in some moments because I’ve gotten that “I’m about to shit my pants” feeling from half a dose of MiraLAX at times (other times I take two doses and feel nothing) and I can’t risk that when I work in the field with no easy access to a restroom/portapotty. Also there’s no blood at all so I have no idea! Maybe it’s a hemorrhoid? I’m not sure. I also started doing belly massage and that hasn’t helped when it comes to trying to pass stool so far
