Hi
I´m new to the forum, nice to see that the internet even has room for a discussion forum for things like this :)
My question goes out to people who have had experience with Rectogesic. After having had a fissure for about 6 months on and off, and lately mostly on, I was finally examined by a specialist who confirmed that I had a quite ordinary anal fissure. He prescribed me with Rectogesic 0.4% ointment, and told me to use it for 8 weeks.
Now it´s been 2 weeks and I can´t really say that I´m noticing much of a difference. I read in some medical trials that rectogesic does not actually heal fissures, it just helps with the pain. Is that true? Or is your experience different?
How long should I expect to wait before feeling an improvement?
(Apart from the ointment I´m doing all the other stuff, like taking stool softeners and drinking lots of water, using wet wipes etc)
Many thanks!
