hi.
i have been suffering from anal discomfort for what feels like forever now !
i have been back and forth to the rectal specialist.
first i was given GTN, but it made very little difference, and at my next appointment i was offered Analheal 2%, i would say this has improved my condition, but its very on and off, like one good day, one bad day and so on.
the appointment after that i was again told to persevere with the Analheal Neozem so i got another tube, and he said to me if at my the next appointment i have not healed then i need to consider surgery, or just ''live with it''.
the only surgery he mentioned was LIS, and he tried to put me clean off it at the same time. saying how i could be made incontinent etc etc.
the problem is, i have quite bad anxiety, and at the moment there is absolutely NO WAY i will allow them to 'put me to sleep' to perform the operation. do you really need to be put to sleep for such a procedure anyway?
he was quite specific and he didnt mention fissurectomy or botox at all. why ? do some hospitals not do the botox option?
im at the end of my tether now.
i wouldnt say im as bad as alot of people on the forum, i dont bleed. but it is extremely uncomfortable and enough to put me in a bad mood!
its like i have one tear about 1cm above the anal opening, sometimes it feels like its healed, and sometimes u can tell its ripped and it really hurts !
and it also hurts all around my anus, like very sore and red.
any help appreciated
