I’ve been using this site for over 6 months now and finally felt the urge to start a topic.
I developed a fissure last August and have been dealing with it since. I have been told I have 2 fissures, posterior and anterior. Sometimes I’ll have one month of pain free BM, but one difficult BM would set me back to square one, sometimes even worse than ever. I’ve used Rectogedic(GTN) and Nifedipine but didn’t fix me. I’m currently on half satchel of Mivocol, Nifedipine, mag citrate and benefiber daily. Despite all the effort, I still tear and bleed. Over the past week, things have gone downhill quite quickly and to a point that I will have constant bleeding on TP throughout the day after BM in the morning. And the spasm would last for about 10hrs but the aching pain from the fissure would always be there, never goes away. In fact, it’s 3:35am and I’m awake because I’m too scared of my morning BM would hurt more than I can take...
So over the weekend I thought, this is it. I’m ready for Botox. Called my CRS first thing on Monday morning and booked in for Botox in 2 weeks. I am hopeful, but I don’t know how to survive the next two weeks...
