Ok so I'll start with some background of myself. I originally had my fissure late February... Now a full 6 months later I'm still dealing with the ups and downs and seriously considering the surgery route.
How it started, saw blood a few times but didn't think anything of it as that has happened before and gone away with no pain. This time was different - pain got worse and worse until I almost passed out on the toilet. It was the one of the most painful things I have ever felt.
Saw a doctor and he put me on MOM, 30 ML at night. I have been on this ever since. Fiber seems to bulk the stool up too much for me so I try to watch that.
Had a colonoscopy weeks later and she said my fissure had healed... I don't know how it could be healed since I cannot have a regular stool still without a laxative without the pain coming back.
I asked for Diltazem and have using that since June but I'm still not healed or at least completely pain free and off laxative.
The past 2 months were pretty good taking MOM and keeping it really soft/watery. But this past week I had another setback and it felt like another slight tear. So here I am not knowing what to do.
How long is it safe to take MOM / and the Diltazem cream? What are my options at this point? Surgery? Even though she said the fissure was healed? Shouldn't I be able to take a normal stool if the fissure is healed?
Thanks for any advice you can give, much appreciated.
