Anyway thought I would post another update as this is exactly 2 months post botox.
I am pleased to report on the most part over the past 3 days I have been pain free!! it's an amazing thing to feel and I'm really over the moon. BM's don't hurt, it's just a grit feeling (a 0.5 on the scale if anything) and little to no resting pain throughout the day (again a 0.5 if anything!) No blood on BMs or on TP and it's just wonderful.
Before my fissure started 2 years ago I used to have a bm every 4 DAYS!! I remember the stool used to be huge and never caused me any issue (working on a ward ment I wasn't eating, drinking or having breaks so pooping went out the window) however since the AF happened I've changed everything dramatically. I now work 9-5 in a telephone triage service as a nurse and I'm drinking 2 litres of water a day, magnesium supplements every day, sitz baths 2 times daily with coconut oil and eating really good quality natural food. After botox I'm now going to the loo twice a day which was hell with the pain but is now a lot easier.
I still have the little fleshy lump just inside my sphincter at the 12 aclock position, it's sensetive to the touch but nothing really to shout about. Maybe it will go away with time?
Thank you all so much for all your support over the past year I'm keeping everything crossed this is it for me and I'm so so close to healing I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I may be on here in a few days time crying sat on a hot bottle like before but I really hope not!!!! I'm not 100% yet but I'm feeling at least 95% there.
Big hugs to all and will keep you posted. On a side note I got a letter from southmead yesterday saying I've got my biofeedback and pressure test appointment booked for august!!! random! Didn't even know I was listed for one.
