Ok TCM here we go

Postby hurtinend » 05 Sep 2015, 21:27

Gave up, now in the hands of a Hemmerhoid Clinic, naturopath/TCM, cure hems and fissures and fistula and runny nose, kidding

Big bucks, not covered by my insurance, have to go to the clinic for insertion of magic bullet every day for 3 weeks, guaranteed cure or money back

Please keep us posted on how that goes. What did they say were in the magic bullets? Do they burn or hurt the area more?

Well they don't mess around

Full anoscope performed, said I have 2 large internal hems and 1 fissure at 12 o'clock

They use a bunch of anal herbal astringents, shrink and dry out hems, they will fall off in 2 weeks, fissure will seal in a month

The catch is I must go to their clinic daily, they apply the remedy, on the outside and inside with a cotton sort of suppository soaked in their magic stuff

Will keep you posted do not expect a cure but worth a try, butt issues is all they do, they know more than any doctor I have seen.

I still await my colonoscopy, yes I am being punished by the system because I said no to my first appointment, could be 8 months or more until I get one, those words direct from the source.

Never heard of this regime. Did they give you any sedation/anasthesia when they did the anoscope? I'm getting mine done under general anaesthia as I can't even tolerate a rectal exam. I don't really understand how some people with fissures can tolerate such exams. Doing anything down there is agony for me.

No sedation, the say straight out that if you won't allow the anoscope.....leave

Not painful, deep breath, here we go....please understand it doesn't hurt, yes, it's a bit uncomfortable, really no big deal, our butts are in fact made to allow for minor dilation

They lubricated well. also had a special table, knees up, elbows on the pillow, none of this silly side saddle leg up that docs do

No matter how much you think you hurt, you can do it. I'm fine.

Wow. I'm shocked you are able to say it doesn't hurt. Your fissure must be a lot more healed than mine. I've had rectal exams via finger (digital I think they call them) and they leave me in absolute agony and bleeding. I wouldn't dream of letting anyone near me now unless i'm under anaesthia and don't know it's happening xD

I hope this proves successful for you.

This sounds a very interesting approach. I really really hope it helps heal your fissure and reduce your pain.
