I am from Mississippi but going to try ans see a CRS in Birmingham, AL at UAB. Does anybody on here have experience with a CRS there? Also my doctor here has had me on 0.125% nitroglycerin ointment what strength does everyone use here. The CRS wants me to try botox before LIS but I have not read many successful stories with botox. Somebody PLEASE help me!

I don't recall what strength nitroglycerin ointments I was given, but you can compare it to the prescription called Rectogesic to see where yours stands.

I had Botox for my fissure and it healed. It took a while though, but I still have residual pain which is caused by pelvic floor tension. That's something I'll probably need more Botox for. It's a good option to try before LIS if you don't want to get surgery.
