Hi All
Had LIS 3 years ago and fissure (see http://anal-fissure.org/t2312-new-to-site-give-my-twisty-story-and-ask-or-comments?highlight=twisty for description) and I happen to e one of the 5% where it returned 2 yeas later. Not as bad, but still having a stinging sensation and pain. My CRS suggested I go under GA to let him have a good look and he did BOTOX after he still saw the fissure. Was doing great 5-days post (some gas incontinence, but not horrible) and thought all was on the mend, but by 9 days post, started to develop what I thought were additional skin tags (had sentinel tag from earlier LIS) but they started "growing", and it felt like a lump developed below. Described this to my CRS and he thought abscess, since on previous exam he saw slight tunneling but he thought this was not a problem (no fistula, etc.). Things kept getting "bigger" until I had a throbbing, what I would call "3-headed monster". I saw CRS on Wednesday and he immediately said "Oh Wow"......after thorough exam and anuscope, he said it was just a flared, badly inflamed hemorrhoid. One of my worst no doubt. Any one have this experience? And nothing I seem to do knocks this down---I have always been good about diet, and am very regular and smooth. Sitz baths 2-3 times a day, alternate medications and "natural" healing salves. all to no avail as yet. I have stayed off my feet most of the days in the past 4, so not much work and so things are getting dicey ...can hardly walk, only relief is laying down.
Anyone get huge piles after BOTOX and how did you deal with them?
Thanks folks
