Well, I finally saw a real colorectal surgeon last week. He did a quick exam and within about 10 seconds saw a fissure. :roll: Geeze. That other guy was a complete idiot - he examined me three times and told me I didn't have one!
The surgeon prescribed me nitroglycerin and told me to try it and see if it helps. If I don't think it's doing anything after a few weeks/a month, though, he said that I can have the surgery done over my Christmas break.
I am curious about something, though. My nitroglycerin says that it's for external use only (in big, bold, highlighted letters!). So I've only used it externally these past few days. However, I know people here use it internally. What's up with that?
Also, does anyone know if an increased heart rate is a side-effect of using it? I haven't gotten any headaches or dizzyness yet, but my heart kinda feels like it's beating too fast...
