Glad no there is no signs of fistula/abcess, That is good news :)
I hope this surgery will be the end of all your troubles Val, it is good that he has done the previous surgey too, i am sure that makes you feel at ease.....
Fingers crossed your appointment comes through ASAP !
Take care

No my friend - I don't feel any better either . It looked somewhat better last night and I hoped it started to heal but this morning I was "reminded" that fissures do not die so fast . Anyway - have to hope - LOL- what else is left ??? I completely understand how you forget to ask - my brain goes in self induced coma any time I have CRS exam. I stay dazed for hours after too - unbelievable what one little hole can do to a person .
I am glad to hear that your CRS has a new idea of how to approach your problem. It does not sound like big procedure in that is great my buddy !!!
I am still in a limbo - "to cut, or not to cut" - that is the question .
Take care buddy - maybe till the end of the summer you will heal by yourself !
XOXO

sorry to hear about the surgery Val. on the bright side though, at least he didn't reinjure you by forcing a looksee. I go dumb when in drs offices too. I forgot to ask the one question I wanted to ask yesterday, which is how much longer might it take to heal....a fruitless question, I know, but i was more hoping he would be able to give me a report of the progress I've made. Oh well....
Hope you feel better soon. You too, Fiss.

Hi Val,
Hope you dont mind me asking but, What did your consultant mean by a sensitivity to the diltiazem?
Or did you not ask, which is total understandable !!!

Val -
I am glad everything went ok! I hope this surgery will end the madness for you!

Tabby, I was using the diltiazem for ages and it was fine and then one day, bam, it itched absolutely unbearably like nothing I'd ever known! I've had itching there before and it wasn't pleasant but this was out of this world horrible so thats how he knew I was sensitive or intolerant to it!

Thank you Val !
I wonder if that is what was causing my itch
I still cannot tolerate any cream i use it once in the morning and wash it off an hour later as i start to feel itchy
I am a total over use victim

Yeah, same happened to me first time around : (. I think it is because they make capillaries to dilate so much that it causes pruritus ani. I have small discomfort now and I pray to God that it does not escalate before I heal !!!

hang in there......
just keep up your af diet and use your nitro and just believe that everything is going to go well.
summer is almost upon us!

Val,
Sorry to hear you are having surgery. I hope you a good holiday weekend and have some relief to enjoy it. But hang in there, I know this AF is fristrating.
Fissy, How are you doing? Keep your chin up!
