Hi all,
My name is Vanessa, im 25 years old and live in TX. I was diagnosed with a pretty severe fissure about a month ago but was experiencing the pain for about 2 months before I finally couldn't take it anymore and went to the ER, i was prescribed Norco pain killers and a topical ointment, so i was pain free as long as i kept up the stool softners and pain meds...... until my pain med ran out then the pain was back in full force. I went to my crs and was prescribed RECTIV and $500 later its working GREAT but the headaches are absolutely debilitating i cant seem to even function! IS there something I can do that can speed along this recovery? I tried going without the cream but its just so helpful, its instant relief for my AF but within minutes that horrible monstrosity of a headache is here an it just doesn't out weigh the pain of the fissure. Any ways to speed this recovery along? Im not sure how much longer I can take the headaches, and although my boyfriend is amazingly wonderful and supportive im sure its just a matter of time before hes fed up too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
Vanessa
