I have had my Fissure for just over 2 years, I have had 2 rounds of Botox which I am not impressed with, and now because the Botox isn't working my Consultant is sending me to have a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy as he believes the Botox should have worked and finds it very odd that its provided no relief and wonders if there is something more going on.
I have to go and have the Flexible Sigmoidoscopy in just under 2 weeks and not overly worried as I'm pretty sure there's nothing really nasty going on and that is it just a Fissure that occured when I gave birth to my daughter.
I almost cancelled it as I haven't really been uncomfortable or blood for a month or so, but the night before last I had a BM at night (most unusual) and had terrible itching and spasming, so put some cream, then last night again a late night BM resulted in a fair bit of blood and pain, in the end I was soo tired of sitting there dabbing it with tissue to stop the blood that I put a sanitary towel in my knickers nearer my bum and went off to bed, woke this morning and there was a bit on the pad...I really thought I had healed, this is doing my head in.
Once they've done the Flexible Sigmoidoscopy as long as no real problems the Consultant said he might try LIS surgery next.
Sorry rant over just needed to talk to people who understood.
