You're welcome Still Hoping :) Glad to see you on here. I have been wondering how you are doing. My external sphinter is awfully tight and painful too. I hope I can get to the point that I can massage it soon as my incision site is right over it now so I cannot. I asked my CRS about botoxing it too and he refused for the same reason. I had it once before but that was before LIS and was a tiny amount. Probably wouldn't be a long term solution but would provide a break from the pain and tightness. Would be nice, but alas...
Glad to hear you have had some improvement.
I have not had any treatment other than botox into the external sphincter and that was years ago, before the fissure (I have had butt problems for a long time before my fissure). I will be doing physio when healed, I hope.
