I am new to this forum and need help finding a great CRS in the Southern California area. I have suffered from two fissures off and on for about year. I have tried hydrocortisone suppositories but do not like the side effects that can occur after prolonged use. I have also been using the nitroglycerine ointment which provides relief but does not get rid of the fissures.
I am at my wits end. They have taken over my life and caused me to be depressed and anxious thus affecting my family life as well as my work.
The one fissure is chronic and just causes discomfort during BM and itches at times. the other seems to heal up and reoccur about every month and a half. I think I want the LIS surgery and fissurectomy and bypass the botox injections. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not want to go to just any Colorectal Surgeon. If you have had great results please let me know.
