Hi everyone
I found this website a couple of weeks ago, but it was locked by admin until now. So I am happy to be here!!
I was diagnosed only a few weeks ago with an anal fissure, though I have been suffering for over a month. But I have some good news to share!
My doctor prescibed Proctosyly, that only seemed to make me bleed more and made my bowel movements feel like I was passing two broken glasses instead of one! I believe it was hydrocortisone cream. I have been reading this website for a few weeks, and have been desperately searching internet for some kind of answer to this hell.
I found a website called Dr Wheatgrass, they have product on it that is called Anti-Recovery cream that is primarly wheatgrass in a cream form. In total desperation and with total skeptisism, I ordered some online. It came Monday nite of this week. it is now Thursday and I cannot tell you the difference I feel. I am not bleeding anymore. I can sit at my desk at work comfortably. I am not kidding, I know it may not be for everyone, but it is really helping me.
My bowels are still painful but now awful like last week, in part because my doctor prescribed that (sp) Lanacaine (the gel to put on about 20 minutes before you poop to help numb things. THAT really helps. But I am telling you, now that I stopped the hydrocortisone and am only using wheatgrass, i seem to be WAY better. Has anyone had similar stories using the Dr Wheatgrass Anti Recovery Cream? I also do sitz baths and stool softners, citrucel and basically eating veggies and fruit.
Thanks for letting me join this forum finally, when I found it and started reading that other folks are going thru this too, it made me feel so much better. I will keep you posted on the wheatgrass. I am hoping I am not jinxing myself by saying it is working, but I truly feel better and wanted to share!!!
