Yes, the finger pressure point made the spasms stop in my case. OR it could just be a coincidense. Are you sure it was a spasme? I get this 'shooting'pain sometimes. Have no idea what they are, but they are so bad I can hardly breathe. This could be from a hemmie I've gotten because of the botox.. Have you tried an icecube wrapped in a wet towel? This also gave me some pain relief when I had ONE fissure. When the next fissure came along, I couldnt do nothing except lie down and pray for.. well.. death
I know, this forum really is a blessing. This is the only place I feel that someone is actually listening and giving helpful advice.
