Hello everyone!
I have been reading and lurking for several weeks. This forum is invaluable. I got diagnosed with a fissure last September and used Dialtezem ointment. It gave me a pounding heart as I am sensitive to calcium channel blockers. I ended up going into Afib and being hospitalized. They gave me some calcium channel blockers in my IV and that with a blood thinner kept me going well and it healed. I had a colonoscopy in January and the doc said all was clear and that the fissure was healed.
After that it started to hurt and bleed. I thought it was my hemmorroids. Kept getting worse. Saw the doc again. The fissure is back. Ugh! He wants me to try Nitro. I am so scared of headaches etc. The first one was the wrong strength and I am getting it filled tonight. I love my hot water bottle and use Miralax. I cannot believe how much this hurts and how much my life is affected. Any suggestions and is there anyone who couldn't tolerate the treatments? Thanks so much!!
