Hello All,
I have been suffering from sharp pain during BM and the pain afterwards would go upto 7 to 8 hours (which is worse than the pain during BM). I have been to a GP who has examined and concluded saying that there is an internal fissure. He has prescribed me with a 0.2% nitroglycerin ointment. I have been using the ointment from past two weeks and the only good thing about it is that it has reduced the after BM pain (controlled the spasms I believe) which is now only upto 2 hours (can I consider this as healing?). I follow a good fibre diet and my stool is always soft. But nothing is changing the pain during BM. Also I have these weird pricky sensations around the area throughout the day. Does this usually happen? I really do not understand if the nitro is healing me or the fissure down there is getting worse. Do I still need to stick with the nitro or go back to the GP? I really feel hopeless and do not want to consider surgery at this point. Please help.
