I am pretty new here, so most of you probably don't really know much about me. However, I went in today to have the Botox injections to help my fissure heal. When my CRS was using the anuscop (sp) to give me the injections, he also found a fistula and another fissure ( I believe). So he gave me the injections, cut the fistula open to let it heal from the inside out, and he removed 3 skin tags. Whoa! that was a mouthful. So far I am much better already. Not in nearly as much pain as I have been. I haven't had a BM yet though. For those of you wandering about the botox, My CRS told me I would be back on my feet and only a little sore by the next day. He is located in Charleston, SC and is a true specialist in his area. He has written a book call "Shining Light on Constipation" Seems like a lot of people with a fissure also have constipation. My was caused from chronic diarrhea(sp).
If anyone has had the surgery for the fistula and the skin tags, I would really love to know how it went and how long before I am back to normal, as far as having a BM and what to expect as far as pain? Also any tips to help me heal faster!! Thank you!! I have already learned a lot from this site in the short time I have joined you!!
Good Luck and Happy Healing to everyone!
