Sadbum don't want to freak you out but I had the same thing stinging in a new place an about this same time I had a look turned out I got a new fissure from the procedure but it healed within 7 days

Day 19 update
Bm today was soft to start but still felt like it was left over from yesterday then the bm that followed straight after that was more formed after the first half nothing happened so I had to push a little to get it moving again an it was half 3 half 4 on the chart today's bm was a bit sore to start then a bit uncomfortable after for like 20 seconds my bms feel good like that's how they should be but here's today questions please anyone add your advice,

Today was the first morning in like 3 years that my bowel wasn't activated by me waking up an walking around a little bit normally my bowel starts moving around an getting ready for my bm from just getting up in the morning I normally go within 5 mins of getting up but today it took longer I remember before the lax sachets I used to have my morning coffee an that would kick start my bowel is this the same for everyone?

Also should your bowel feel uncomfortable while the bm is moving down an around say 5 mins before you head to the toilet?

And why did this bm need a little push half way is that just normal if only for a second an a very light push?

Last but not least while putting on my barrier cream I felt the fissure long and rough feeling not nice an smooth this makes me feel like it needs to be removed but the surgeon said since it's soft it should heal what do you think? I would extra appreciate mypoorbutt chimming in here? Thank you to everyone.

I feel like I have to push a lot too.

Also does your fissure itch??

Bm 2
Was a 4 off the Bristol chart an finished as a 5 no pain at the start or during but after the spasms set in? Muscle pain ache tightness so I got in the bath which I never do then when I got out my skin tag was large an red this hasn't happen so far so not sure what to think of it but before Botox the skin tag would only play up if the fissure was not happy so I put on some diltiazem an I'm now laying down i still have the tightness but no pain things seem different after Botox not as much pain but still tight hoping this isn't anything major just another day of healing an tomorrow will be a day of its own an will be better then today and I'll continue to improve I was shocked an thrilled during this pain free bm not even pain to start with like every other day. I do not like this skin tag though.

Sadbum your probably having to push because things are still really swollen wait a few more days if your taking an anti-inflammatory or maybe a week if your not till the swelling goes down it will get better an each day it is getting better each day how long did you have your fissure before Botox?

Can pushing cause hemrhoids??

I had my fissure on and off for 20 months!

Yea you need to try not to push are you taking any fiber? Did they remove the fissure or just do Botox sorry I can't remember?

Just the Botox!!

Oh ok me too I had normal fissure pain for awhile after the botox if you read back through my updates you'll see how long it was it felt just like it did before Botox now it just hurts at the start of a bm or like today randomly it hurt after my 2nd bm but not at the start or during which was odd I'll see what tomorrow brings. How is your pain now compared to before Botox?

Week 3 update
Bm today was more a 2 on the chart because for some reason yesterdays bm didn't all come out I feel like my bowel is a bit lazy causing bits of bms to be left behind to dry out, how ever it felt better an caused less pain then some of the other bms it just hurts a little at the start then nothing during or after does stretching the muscle make the things better? My muscle an even fissure seems to prefer a stretching bm don't know why anyway last night after putting on my diltiazem I had small spasms about 5 of them over an over as I walked away from the bathroom right there an then I decided to ditch the diltiazem I'll I've started using Zink cream as a before bm barrier cream an I'll also use coconut oil before bed can't hurt : ) I'll stick around but will only update once a week xx
