Hi all,
I have a digestive disorder that makes me have frequent diarrhea about 5-10 times per day when it is at its most medically managed; this cannot be changed at this time. I cannot do the typical fiber recommendation.
Because of that and a very tight sphincter I developed chronic non-healing anal fissures as well as a hemhorroid. They do not bleed much but they often hurt a lot. I sometimes feel it has ruined my life.
I have been trying to treat the fissures since Oct 2008.
I've tried frequent hot baths, nitro cream, diltiazem cream, wheat grass cream, and the botox injection which gave me about 1 month of reduced pain.
My doctor is not willing to do the LAS surgery unless my diarrhea abates. He actually prefers to do an anal flap surgery on me if an when my diarrhea abates.
So for now I am in a situation where I have exhausted medical treatments available to me.
I am young and want to feel better. Does anyone have any suggestions for pain management or healing?
Thanks all.
