Hi all!
I'm rounding out four months of fissuring. I've been on diltiazem for over two months now, applying twice per day to the best of my ability. It seemed to help initially but progress has plateaued and, though I'm better off than I was, I'm certainly far from feeling normal/well/happy. I am just wondering - would it be worth it to try switching to a nitro ointment? I know people sometimes switch to that if the diltiazem causes a rash, but that nitro is not hugely popular due to the headaches it causes.
So, my question is - what is the difference in the functionality of the two? If one doesn't work (or work as well as hoped), is there any chance that the other will be more effective? Just wanting to explore all of my options before taking the surgery plunge.
Thanks in advance for your help!
