Hi alfa,
I'm really sorry you've got levator ani as well as fissures. What a rotten double whammy! Hopefully now you have a diagnosis, you can start to make some progress? Kudos to JHH for spotting the levator ani!
Are the muscle relaxants helping at all? Are there any exercises you can do, or relaxation techniques? I do hope you get better!
Nifedipine/lidocaine, no help
Diltiazem, effective, but caused major rash
Nitroglycerine, effective.
Topical estrogen for final healing.
Gentle heat to bottom - pain relief, muscle relaxant
Kondremul mineral oil
Time - lots of time.
Status - Healed!
