I have been suffering with fissures FOR YEARS.
Thought it was a skin problem, diagnosed as a fissure a year ago by rectal surgeon. Then told it wasn't, then told it was, then told I had 'sore bottom syndrome' (WTF)
Then the last time I had a camera shoved in me, by a guy who said it wasn't fissures, but one minute later changed his mind and said my anus was bleeding . and he would give me steroid cream to help 'heal' the fissures and the redness.
That's the last time I went to the hospital and I simply cannot go back again to be told the same thing.
I have quite a large tear which is actually above the anal opening and more 'between the cheeks' sometimes its fine and does not hurt much at all, then sometimes its really painful, even to bend down. Almost as if it heals, but then 're'tears' , and I also have pain around the anus, like very very small cuts.
Basically I am saving up to see a surgeon privately.
But is he just going to tell me what these other useless doctors have told me?
I have tried coconut oil, neozem 2% several prescriptions' gtn cream, a pure aloe plant , preperation H. Steroid cream twice.
What is going to heal me ?
