Anal Fissure Support Forum

FF I am sorry to hear this. New fissures are never fun. I recently tried to look carefully at my behind and that scared me more so I stopped looking. Are you still having that plug effect? Have you tried the Vaseline prior to BM? How about supporting with the finger for the posterior one ? I know you have been through so much and probably know all these and have tried them. But please know as you said that your family here is rooting for you. I have been having some rough days too - I totally hear you my friend .

Hello everyone,

SOME GOOD NEWS!

So this is day 2 with NO PAIN! I'm not entirely sure how, but I'm not questioning it. I have a small pinch of pain on BM then its gone - I've not been at work for the past week so that might be it. I have to confess the other day I did something stupid that I never would recommend - I used my inflatable dilator that I've never used before and I just lubed it up and inflated further than I should have. It hurt like hell and I regretted it for hours after but since then... I've not felt bad at all? Maybe it stretched the scar tissue enough to make the area back there more flexible? I've been taking a higher dose of Vit E too which has helped with stool consistency. either way, I'm thanking every god available for a few days without agony.

That's great news. Keep with the focus on stool consistency. The pain with the dilation sounds like that may not be the best idea . I forget if you take magnesium oxide but it helps me a lot 250 mg twice a day.

Pain is back on bm but nothing after. Just a sharp scratch then it's over.

Odd...

Good evening everyone.

Not posted in a while, lots going on in life.

Pain wise I'm not doing too bad with a mild pinch on BM and for the rest of the day it feels like I have a sharp seed or grit in my sphincter even though I've bathed immediately after. It really is perplexing!!

Congrats Salamon, so glad to hear your good news!

I've come on here after lots going on in my life once again to happily say I'm 95% healed. I will still have a sitz bath after BM and occasionally get a pinch of pain back there now and again but that just reminds me how far I've come and how lucky I am to be where I am now. I've had so much done since June 2013 so I cannot sadly pinpoint what has 'cured' me as such, but I think it was a mix of botox, cautery, scar excision and patience. I will remain on this forum to help people, I see you all as my family.

I may not be 100% better yet but I'm so happy to not feel like I'm going to faint on the loo now!!!!
