Good morning everyone,
So I have been dealing with a chronic fissure for about 5 years now, but didn't realize it till about 3 months ago. I had an appointment to have surgery which a fissurectomy with botox would be done last friday, so I was put under and the CRS went in. I guess my Anal fissure wasn't bad enough to operate on, so they just did the botox, and it is now 8 days later and I am still in pain post BM and pretty much through out the day. I wasn't completely sure why he didn't do anything the fissure, and still am not but I gave the Dr. the benefit of the doubt obviously. So, I guess my question is: Am I prematurely freaking out? I also had 2 internal hemorrhoids removed as well, so I may sure that is adding to the pain. I know its only been 8 days, but I just want to be done with this. Those who had botox done, how long did it take to see any result? I definitely feel that my anal spinchter is almost numb, but my pain feels internally. What do you guys think? I can see they want to be conservative, but I really don't want to and I was under the impression that they were on the same page with me going into surgery, but I had no communication with the CRS that operated on me beforehand which I know didn't help at all. Anyway, sorry to rant. I have been keeping BM's soft with Miralax (which is a godsend), so no problems there but they are always as painful as they were before. thanks for listening.
Mike
