Hi all,
So this isn't my first post and sadly, I'm still dealing with this terrible pain and depression from this whole fiasco. I was diagnosed with a fissure June 5th, used nitro which hasn't worked. Although in the beginning, I though it was working. Then saw a CRS 2 weeks ago. Upon doing a rectal exam, she did not see a fissure but saw ulcerated hemorrhoids. Gave me a compound cream and dibucaine which also haven't worked. Finally called the doctor and insisted on the next step as I was still in pain. Yesterday, I went to the hospital and was thankfully knocked out so that the doctor could take a closer look. Turns out I do have a significant and deep fissure that was probably hidden by the hemorrhoids that surprisingly are not causing the pain. I think, anyway. Because I'm 38, plan on having another child and because she wants to do the least invasive thing first, she recommended botox injection. she things this will be very successful. I have agreed because, quite frankly, something has to be done. I cam tired of being in so much pain and my life being on hold. I rarely leave the house and am laying down most of the day. It's very depressing.
So I'm scheduled to have this botox injection tomorrow at her office. i'm really afraid of doing this while awake. Although I guess I have been in so much pain, how bad can this really be? Doc said it's like the flu shot. In my rear end. Has anyone else had this done while awake? I'd love to hear your experiences. Thanks again for your help and support. Hope everyone is finding some relief and are on their way to healing.
