Please help me. I've had an excruciating fissure since Feb. Been to a specialist and received a compound with lidocaine and something to relax the sphincter. It is not helping. I cannot get my stools the right consistency even with miralax. I am now drinking prune juice and taking a teaspoon of metamucil a day. The pain lasted for hours and hours after the bm yesterday. I am exhausted and depressed. Please help!!
