Missy moo, I remember in an earlier post you had said that the surgeon caused a fissure while giving you botox. Do you think that was because of the anal exam they did while you were sedated? My CRS plans to do an exam before giving the botox and I'm worried she'll cause some damage while I'm under.

Yes I believe so also a different surgeon later told me that that would be why. An exam well under is pretty standard here they want to make sure that there's nothing more serious going on also they can find any issues that may be creating an environment for you to be more likely to get anal fissure so for me I thought it will be piece of mind plus if they found the reason why I was getting fissures they could fix it then I'd stop getting fissures.

SueMac I think I can have as many as I like but I'm over this now it's been nearly 6 years that I've had this fissure and the last 3-4 days I've had hard tips blood and pain during and after bms so I'm nearly ready for lis to be honest it's so depressing I'm more obsessed with food water vitamins minerals and poo I'm missing out on my kids growing up I got this fissure during or after my first child's birth so my fissure has been here since my kids have been here it's like the selfish 3rd child taking up all my time.

So sorry to hear that missy.I do I is where you are coming from about your kids. It's so hard to carry on as nomal when in pain and also monitoring your bm etc constantly.

How are you today?
I don't know anything about LIS but I get the impression it is generally good and risk low. Every though and with small children it's hard having things done. Have you had this conversation with your botox person?

I'm having more Botox tomorrow I'll ask him then bit the last surgeon I spoke to seemed very hopeful for round 2 of Botox he said more people heal from round 2 then round 1 so fingers crossed. I'll also be updating my progress on my other post it's in the general tread it's called Botox again feel free to chime in on there anytime and thank you for your support

Wishing you loads of best wishes and let's hope the second round makes all the difference. I think I am already watching the other thread as well.

Thank you so much
