Lars it sounds like you've had a horrible time with your fissure. I'm glad it all is getting better - fingers crossed for continual healing!

Hi Lars.
Glad to hear you are in less pain. My dr didn't comment on the size of my muscle, just the strength. it seems that when something clenches constantly for a year or so, a good deal of muscle fiber can build up.

Then I must have a sphincter Charles Atlas would envy, Chris!

Seems the joy didn`t last lang :( I have had pain constantly through the day an I feel the muscles clenches down there. I have to push again when I have an BM and farts... Damn I am tired of this...

I understand the misery of the day-long spasms, Lars. Yes, you can't live like this all your life. Tell that CRS that the spasms last all day, I am sure he/she will approve the LIS. Hope tomorrow is better.

Hello Kim
I am going to a private hospital on saturday. I hope he agrees with me. I am maybe begining to wonder if there is something else wrong with me....Could there maybe be a abcess beniht the fissure even thought the fissure itself i nearly healed? It there anymore else tests to do beside a anoscopi in the rectum?

It is possible you have an abscess, but you described the clenching, so I have to assume that is sphincter spasms. For some of us they can last almost all day. The LIS will fix that problem immediately.
I think the anoscope is about it as for examining the area. Unless someone else has any ideas.
If I recall you have had this problem for some time. With me, the longer I waited, the longer it took each day for my butt to settle down. At first I was just having spasms half the day and felt better later. Near the end my butt hurt almost all day, though not necessarily from spasms.

Lars , I am sorry to hear that your initial success reversed - but it is sooooo typical of fissure - it is the worst torture device that exists since it does not only produce extreme physical pain but emotional too due to constant ups and downs : (((.
Anoscopy is standard exam for fissures, fistulas, abscess and hemmies. If they suspect inflammatory processes in the colon, they would use colonoscopy - but no reason to do that in your case, obviously.
Your symptoms sound like sphincter spasms by all means and I had them 24/7 - I don't know how I lived with that for 5 months.
Well, being home bound and mostly in bed can't be considered "life" in its full meaning - so I practically "did not live".
I wish you super successful consultations with your new doctor and I hope you will be pain free very soon !!!
All the best !!!

Hey
I just don`t understand it.... On friday I was 90% fine and now I an about 50% :( Maybe the super dose of botox just lasted a few days on me? I do not feel "light and smaller" down there anymore....Is I possible that even LIS won`t help me?(because I`m to tight I mean)

The LIS should fix the tightness, it did for me. Botox is less effective and in your case, it could have been injected wrong or there could be any number of reasons why it didnt work well. Most people need more than one treatment for it to heal their fissures.
LIS will almost certainly help, but there are some for whom it hasn't helped, but in the vast majority of cases, it does "cure" the fissure.
