Hi there, I've had many years of pain and troubles with my fissures. I've had botox, stenosis revision surgery, another round of botox, nifedipine, gtn, everything. I've had good stints where everything is fine, then I have sex with my partner and we cant even get started before my scar tissue tears open. So recently I took up dilating every day twice a day with some vitamin C face cream and it has worked an absolute treat for now. I don't know how long this will last but to poop without pain this morning for the first time in years has been a miracle. make sure you sprinkle some flax seed on your porridge or bran every single morning, maybe consider dilating if you can tolerate that? (i use cocoa butter as lube which not only smells great but is thick enough to stop any friction)
all the best
let me know if you have any questions
