I have visited the CRS. He wants to make a medical attempt to cure this fissure before resorting to surgery. He prescribed diltiazem to be applied 2 times daily, valium every 8 hours for spasm, and1-2 ultram every six hours for pain.
I have applied the med. as directed .
Sat was pretty good after a painful BM
Sun was good after a painful BM
Mon was painful most all day with 3 painful BMs, but I was able to work all day.
Tues , a painful BM but the day got better and by late afternoon no pain.
Wed. , a painful BM and spasmed all day 2d painful BM at 6:15 pm.
My question is how normal is this in terms of a recovery? Are am I recovering?
Should I take the valium every morning whether I am in spasm or not? I have not been.
I have not had any bleeding since before last FRi. when I went to see the CRS.
Is the continued pain with the BMs normal?
Please help with your thoughts on these matters!!
