I'm new to this group. I've been treating my chronic fissure with Nifedipine .2% for 5 weeks now. I've probably had this thing for almost a year but my first exams and colonoscopy only found hemorrhoids so we were treating it all wrong. I have a rectocele and perineal descent that I know is contributing to my issues. I'm scheduled for surgery on Nov 4 along with an exam under anesthesia by the CRS the same time. If needed he will do fissurectomy and Botox then. At the 2 week mark CRS said fissure had begun healing and was no longer red and angry. At the 4 week mark CRS said it was healing and internal sphincter could no longer be seen. I haven't had spasms or real pain for almost 2 weeks now. I've only been uncomfortable enough to remind me I have this fissure. I also do PT twice a week. All of a sudden today I'm back to intense pain and spasms. There's no clear reason why. Does anyone have experience with this. Have I damaged it again or is this part of the healing process?
