Has anybody ever tried using a local anesthetic cream on the effected area? My Surgen has just prescribed me one (can't remember the name of it right now). He says all fissures are healed (not sure I believe him) and that the pain must be from scar tissue so there aren't really any other options left for me to try

What is the name of the cream? Is your surgeon a colorectal surgeon? Did you have a surgery yet?

Not sure what its called, I've gone and lost the prescription, going to try and get another one on Monday so will let you know then. Yes he was a colorectal surgeon, I've had Botox and LIS but that was at least 5 years ago. Not sure if the scar tissue is from the fissure or the LIS but I really hope that isn't the problem. I would much prefer it to be a fissure because at least that is curable.
