I have an appointment tomorrow with my GP, and I know he's going to strongly suggest Botox and I'm going to strongly ask for a referral.
I don't know what to think about Botox--- hospitals, doctors and nurses scare me, I'll have to pay out of pocket, and much of what I've read on this forum hasn't been the greatest support for Botox.
I had previously been on my way to healing just over a month ago, using only Diltiazem occasionally and prune juice. One bad BM put me back at the beginning line, only this time with two fissures.
I've spent 3 weeks on Miralax (two full doses a day) and using Diltiazem when I can bear the burn. My pain levels top at 4 out of 10 (10 being I break down and cry and hyperventilate when I feel the urge to poo).
It doesn't seem like healing is progressing at this point. I'm doing everything I can for myself.
Do I need to give myself more time? Or would it be better to go ahead and look at other options???
I'm afraid of trying anything that risks making this worse!
