Anal Fissure Support Forum

[Idol79]

Hi guys...Going through such a rough time at the moment, does anyone know if you can still heal with a fissure say through botox after having one for 5 years on and off, but more on lol. Also any ideas why im not healing all of a sudden like i did in the past? and in pain all through the day even after soft bm's??

Hi idol, I think first of all u need to ascertain are u dealing with fissures or piles. Both symptoms are rather similar and thus it is often misunderstood. If urs is a chronic fissure for so many yrs then most probably u are a gd candidate for surgery. Humans wear and tear as we age, so does our ability to heal, coupled with many other factors like ur bowel habits, lifestyle and diet.

Thanks dwarfs8... Im in tears here, it definitely is a chronic fissure thats gradually got bigger, saw a crs about a year ago.

I understand the pain, y don't u go back to see the CRS since u mentioned it's a year ago? Don't worry, there's hope. U can read "my success story", do a search and u can find it. U can get some ideas there.
If all else fails, there's always surgery which many ppl are better off here. U can also try the nitro or diltizam which ur CRS will prescribe. These can achieve the same as LIS, but temporarily. Thus, unless u can heal faster then u retear, it can still work

Thank you... I am going to go back to my doctor for another referal.

You can heal after years, I'm 15 months post LIS and have healed successfully on several occasions only to have a re-tear, it's all because the anus has been compromised, that is my theory..
