Hi hot, sorry your docs an IDIOT! An annoyance!? You know, I think these are the only people I'd wish a fissure on! It's amazing how they have no understanding of what we go through EVERYDAY!! I'm so, so sorry you have to fight to get treatment, many of us do...
Like Hopetoheal says, or read the forum you'll find we've ALL said it at one point or another, you need the right ointment to even attempt to heal on your own, surgery may be your only option, sometimes even Botox doesn't help. Lidocaine by itself is a fifteen minute band aid at best, it's maddening that that's all you got for help!
I recommend that you find another doc, I know that's difficult but you need to see a CRS that knows how to deal with this! These days I can't believe I got through the last year with that pain! I hope you get on track with a solution, if it was me, I did and I would DEMAND surgery, after a long time it's the only way for most of us, people who heal without it are few and far between, I'm six weeks out today and I'm right back to life. Everyone deserves that! O I hope you find relief!
