Semi-new here. Dealt with a painful fissure with spasms a couple years back. . . was managing it okay the last few years with some bleeding on and off, but nothing too bad. Then bam, tore again pretty bad a couple weeks ago (around November 15th or so), and in pain since then.
Dealing with long fissure, then thrombosed external hemorrhoid which went away, but back again after this morning's BM. Stayed home from work in the hopes I can nip this in the bud. Have an appointment with a CRS "nurse specialist" January 6th because CRS wasn't available until February.
In the meantime, can a general practitioner prescribe nitro? Is Advil okay for the pain? Thought I read somewhere an anti-inflammatory should be avoided.
I can deal with the fissure with stool softeners, fiber and liberal use of ointments, but what about the thrombosed hemmie?
