I am new to the forum. I have a fissure, but from what I have read here so far, I am very lucky. So far the only time I have pain is when I go to the bathroom and maybe a little while after but it is mostly manageable. I take Miralax daily and for the most part it works. What I do have a problem with it the rectal itching. I have now idea why I itch or what to do to stop it ....besides scratch! By scratching I aggravate the area which I am sure is not good.
I am glad to have found this forum. I have received a lot of good advice and it is good to know I am not alone in this. I am not sure I will ever be completely healed but I am trying to do everything I can to let the fissure heal. Thanks to all of you.
