Before I started using the nitro, I was mainly having internal inflammation (hemmy?) and tightness problems. No really stinging pain while having BMs, though. On the first two days that I used the nitro, my butt felt the best that it had felt in months. Nice and relaxed, and not to painful during BMs.
Then, on the third day, I got a bad external hemorrhoid that has been with me for two weeks now, the longest that I've ever had one. And every day since then, the sharp pain and blood during BMs has gotten worse. And the after effects have lasted longer and longer.
The hemorrhoid discomfort isn't bad any more, but I'm pretty sure that the other problems are fissure-related. The nitro is still making things more relaxed down there, but it does sting a bit when I apply it, especially after the BM. But other ointments put down there have stung as well.
Any idea what could be going on? I'm wondering if I have a new fissure that's closer to the outside than the original, and/or the nitro is somehow causing problems.
