Hun I'm sure this Botox will do the job and if not push for LIS I had to go to 3 different CRS before I found one who would agree to LIS due to my issues. Have you had a resting pressure test because if you have a high resting pressure and don't suffer from regular diarrhoea then there is no reason to not give you LIS if you need it
It's your body you know what's best for you
Good luck

Do you have kids? When did you first get your fissure? Is it in the front or back of the anus? I've been dealing with this for 4 years but haven't had botox or surgery.

Yes I have a son it all started 3 weeks after I had him so 12 years ago now it's what they call in a 12 o clock place! This round of bottox kicked in after 6 days and I have been great no pain at all things are feeling very different down there so fingers crossed I'm seeing my surgeon on the 6th Oct xx

Wow my fissure started 2weeks after my for at son so 4 years ago I've been using diltiazem cream like crazy for the last 4 months every set back I started the 6 weeks again an the last 8weeks while still curiously using the cream the fissure came back now I don't know what the heck to do I now have a 5 month old also what is a person to do?? I'm scared of botox an the surgery??

Mine is at 12 o clock too with a massive red sore skin tag how are you today?

Hospital this Tuesday my bottox has run out starting to feel it again feeling pis*#ed off big time I'm going to ask for the lis!!! 12 years is to long! Wishes me luck xx

Oh no Katie Hun....I had assumed that you were doing well. Def ask for the LIS Hun it really does work even in complicated cases like mine. Don't let them try and dissuade you, you know your own body and know what you need.
Good luck fingers crossed

Had my appointment today and was begging for the lis op! My surgeon said yes but wants to do one more bottox so fitting me in for tomorrow! Then have an appointment set for dec to see how it is! If not healed which I can't see it will she will then do the lis op! But she so worryed I may not have control after the op or in years to come!!! How have people been since there lis op woukd love to hear other peoples stories xx

Wow your doc is determined....I have been fine after my LIS yes I still get the odd spasms when my crohns flares but and this is the important point here even during my flares when I have explosive liquid BMs I haven't had even a tiny amount of soiling my under ware let alone actual incontinence.
Drs have to warn us of this but some get way too hung up on it. My CRS was very honest and said after 22 years of carrying out LIS he has only seen less than a handful of cases where people,e are incontinent and of those handful only one was what he would class as being diagnosed incontinent and not just a bit of marks on underwear after a BM.

Just had my bottox done! Was talking to the nurse and even she was saying make sure your 100% before u had the lis done!!!!!! They really want me to be put off!! It is worrying x
