Had A Camera, Botox And A Pile Banded. Using Movicol. Experienced Chills In Legs. Anything To Worry About?

Hi,
I had a proceedure on my anus about 6 weeks ago. I had a camera, botox (for the second time) and a pile banded. I am very tight in this area and the the botox has not worked yet again. My problem has not been solved and the only thing that is helping is Movicol so that I can have a bowel movement without bleeding. Since the proceedure I have occassionally experienced a chill in my right leg. It does not last very long and has only happened about a dozen times in 6 weeks. Is this anything to worry about?
Thanks
Lynn

Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
There appears to be high possibility of spasm of anal sphincter which is getting injury with passage of hard stools.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ general surgeon and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for complete blood count, blood sugar, serum electrolytes, and thyroid profile.
You should take plenty of water, high fibre diet and laxatives containing lactitol and isapgula. Passage of stools easily gives soothing effect with healing in anal pathology.
You should also continue Movicol for relief of your symptoms.
You should perform increased physical activity to maintain gastrointestinal mobility.
You should also take proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetics.
You should also apply diltiazem ointment at anal area.
You should also take hot sitz bath three times in a day.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
