Well I have had this fissure for about 3 years. I have been using Nifedipine with success. Problem being is... I have to stay on the ointment, once I go off the ointment... the fissure slowly creeps back ! My CRS says that my fissure is healed, I just don't believe him! I do have some pain sometimes, there is stinging but no bleeding or spasms.
Is there a way they can take a picture of the fissure ? so that they know 100% that the fissure is healed ? He just sticks his finger in my but and uses an anascope when he examines me. How is he sure that the fissure is healed without actually seeing it ?
Is it safe to use Nifedipine for the rest of my life if I had too ? will my body get used to it eventually ?
I have a touch of IBS, so I get diarrhea every couple weeks which hurts the fissure even more, which brings me to the conclusion that my fissure is not 100% healed!
do I need a new CRS or just accept the fact that my fissure is healed and there will be pain regardless.
