gosh folks i am tired, exhausted, frustrated beyond words.
I have battled this thing on and off going on 6 years. The last year or so has been very very good, to the point where I didint think about the fissure and just lived my life - although I always maintain a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise and supplements.
2 weeks ago I felt ill, woke up in the night with upset stomach - no diarrhea though. Next morning had a dry unfulfilling semi-poop, 2 hours later I felt it - you know what I mean, that horrid mix of burning and spasm. Rear end so sore I couldnt touch it. SO ive been soaking and sitz bathing and coconut oil, and cooked broccoli, oil, water - blah blah. Its progressed from 2 weeks ago, no I have an intense sore lump on the outside. Just moving is painful but I carry on anyways.
Turns out my doctor retired, so I have a new one - made an appointment - not good - he knows nothing about fissures, took a quick peek and said it looks kinda sore down there - prescribed Nitro cream and I was out the door.
4 years ago at my worst, I saw a CRS - he said I had a very very tight ass, but no fissure was visible. He gave me a diet and lifestyle plan - good fibre, no wiping, no creams of any kind, take sitz bats, no spicy food, no alcohol.
Ive had it with doctors, I know 2 people who had LIS - both felt good for a while, then it came back.
so whats next? A bag on my side?
