Hi JB,
I had Botox last April. I think it depends on how far gone a Fissure is, as to how effective it is.
It took 3 weeks for me to feel any difference. I also had hems banded and I had 3 Fissures, so my case was chronic, as I was 7 months in since first being diagnosed.I was pain free for a short period, but not long as it didn't work for me. It was sore afterwards, but nothing worse than the fissure pain. Mine were too far gone, and I may be having surgery soon....
JHH healed on Botox, he has a diary on here which you can take a look at. Also Sugar spice has too, I think she is on her second round of Botox and doing well.
I think it depends on the surgeon too, as some use Botox, some don't.... My new CRS said it wouldn't be an option now for me. Good luck, and I think if you are not to far gone with your Fissure, get the Botox done, it may well heal you.
