I had a fissurectomy approximately 2003. It worked great until about a year ago and I started having pain again with BMs. ITs like trying to get a square peg through a round hole. I went to see a CRS and he said about 5% of those folks who have a fissurectomy will get a fissure in their life again. Guess Im one of the 5% as I had another small fissure upon his examination. SO I started the nifedipine and its helped. Also been using Pranicure as I get pruitis with it. 6 weeks after seeing the CRS, his NP said the fissure was looking to be healing, but to stay on the nifedipine for another month which is all well and good, BUT when I have BMs it still feels to damn tight down there and I'm worried once I stop the nifedipine I'll just tear again. Seems to me I have anal stenosis and unless they determine the cause of that and remedy it this will just keep nagging me.
Any folks here who have experienced the same scenraio and if so what did you end up doing about it. Am I looking at another surgery to fix this??
Pokey
