Healed at Last!

Postby Tushi » 23 Nov 2015, 15:34

Dear Forum,

I am happy to report that I am finally healed.
I thank this forum for answering my questions, for all the participants who candidly tell their stories and share tips of what works and what doesn't.
I tried everything to avoid any surgical intervention and it worked. I must say that I healed with a combination of everything and a big dose of patience although It did take about six months.
I am now loyal to the routine of fiber at night (i use Konsyl not Metamucil) and take 400 mg of magnesium all these in addition of a healthy diet of veggies and fruits etc...

I had written a long explanation and somehow it got lost :(

There is not one thing that cured me but a combination of the treatment with ointments: Rectiv and later a compound of diltiazem and nitroglycerine which I applied 3 times a day. I used two tubes of the compound since after the first one the fissure had not healed. At the same time, I took daily sitz baths ( sometimes twice a day) with Epson salts because I had read the magnesium relaxes the muscles and that promotes healing. Every night I took Konsyl, 400 mg of magnesium and at the very beginning when the pain was the worst and I order to make sure Inwould have a painless, soft bm, I also took a spoonful of olive oil.
I also have use Calmoseptine ointment that is soothing for minor cuts. I avoided anything that would be irritating: wine, hot sauces etc...

I hope this helps,

Tushi (you too have a nice name Canadabum)

I forgot to mention that part of the daily treatment was to insert a one Calmol suppository at night and one after a bm in the morning.

Hi Tushi,

Where did you get the suppositories from? How long did you use diltiazem for? Did you develop any rash from using it continuously? Thanks.

That's terrific news Tushi!

Hafzaal.. I am also a big fan of the Calmol Suppositories. You can get a box at most drugstores. I even had my doctor call them in as a 'prescription', so my insurance covered most of the cost. Google them on Amazon. :)
