Hi everyone
So. This is a really long and painful story but i will try and keep it as brief as possible. I have suffered with anal fissures for over 10 very long years now and last week i underwent botox to try and cure me of this awful thing! I am 29 yrs old, very active, have a good diet. I dont know how i ended up with a fissure in the first place but after 10 very painful, fustrating years and trying all the creams, lotions & potions i really hope this is the end of it all. I underwent surgery last year but the surgeon said he couldnt see anything. He has to have been joking as i was in severe pain with every bm. Another thing to note was that i had oversused hc10 creams which means my skin in this area is now v thin and sore in addition. Anyway i went under the knife again last week and heres my analysis so far. The first bm was very painful with lots of blood, the 2nd 1 was uncomfy but not as painful and no blood the 3rd was much easier with no stinging pain just some slight ache where i presume the botox was inserted. Im staying optimistic, taking lactulose and eating small and often. My advice to anyone suffering is fissures can be stress related. Stay relaxed, take Calms magnesium every day and eat lots of veggies and fruits. It does help but it might not cure it. If the botox doesnt work for me then the nxt step is a fissturectomy. I will update you all in a few weeks.
