Hi Everyone
I had an advancement flap last week to heal a chronic anal fissure. I have been in just as much pain since due to the muscle spasms. I am taking Methacarbamol, Movicol, having 3 baths a day in salt water, I use Anoheal (diltiazem), anusol creams and use a heat pad. I've even tried poppers to relax the spasms but they just leave me feeling dizzy, but the way I'm feeling I would try anything....
My life revolves around going to the toilet and having baths.
I honestly have no quality of life, I have a young son who is 19 months old and I am seeing less and less of him as I sit for hours on end in baths.
I know the next surgery they offer me will be LIS if this doesnt work and I am a young female and I really dont want to spend the rest of my life worrying about incontinence, but alot of you on here seem to be really positive about the surgery?
Anyone ever had their surgerys done at the Yorkshire Clinic in UK? Thats where I am an outpatient and I'm wondering if to elect to go to a different clinic (patient choice now) which is better? I dont have great confidence in my surgeon...
I just want this over with now, I am not strong enough to cope. I'm in tears every day. I pray things will get better.
Need support... I really am at the end of what I can cope with.
