Thanks again Jsingh for responding to my PM, we all need all the support we can get and this is why this Forum has been my 'go-to' for the past year. :).

Hey lorraine. I had the e procedure and its been two weeks. Tonight i had a BM and its huring oretty bad but its a deep pain...wondering, are you seeing anyblood in your BMs As well?

Yes, I am. (Sent you a PM too). I see blood almost every time and leak blood a bit during the day. Nurse said this is all normal.
I'm so sorry you are in such pain. I truly understand. I'm praying for you. The meds should kick in very soon, distract yourself with something.
We are all rooting for you Johnnysantiago!

Forgot to mention, I have some deep pain as well. Like a pressure feeling. It's not terrible, but uncomfortable. Like I have to go, but I don't (just went). Prob a spasm. Waiting for med to kick in too. I started taking a magnesium drink called Calm before bed and I think it stimulated a BM. Hence why I am up at 2am...who knows.
Sorry! One more thing!
Nurse told me to use the Diltiziem cream that I was using prior to the procedure. If you still have this..use it!! This may be the best remedy right now! Muscle relaxer. Sorry didn't think of sooner.

Hello Lorraine,
I am a new member trying to compose amessag and post it but I cannot find how to do it. Please help me.

Hi! Are you trying to PM (Private Message) someone? Your post is showing above, so not sure what you're asking. :)
To PM someone just click PM on the left under the members name.

My post to you appears because I pressed reply, but my initial question refers to start a message in, for ex, "introduce yourself".
Tushi

Lorraine, I'll respond via PM.

Tushi: I've never composed a "new post", sorry.
Could someone else help Tushi with how to write a new post?
You could also contact the Forum Admin for help maybe?

Hello Lorraine - I've been following your posts and I must say they have been very insightful. I'm a new member and I've also scheduled to do Dr Feingold's Kenalog Procedure within the next two weeks. Can you say how your recovery process has been thus far ? have you noticed any improvements since you had the surgery ? I've been dealing with this Fissure for the past 4-5 months ( I also have internal Hemorrhoids) and its been a cycle of ups and downs. I've had bad weeks, manageable weeks and good ones as well. Currently I don't have much pain during or after bowel movements but there is still a sensation of burning that last for hours or maybe a day after ( dependent on how many times I go and how Big the bowel movements are) Pain can be any where from a 1-7 at its worst. Apart of me just wants to wait this out a little more due the fact that I am not in much discomfort presently but another part just wants my life of psychical activities back ( lifting heavy weights or doing anything strenuous seems to aggravate the Fissure). Is the pain your feeling post surgery worst , the same or better prior to surgery ? Any thoughts you can share would be greatly appreciated.
