Mine is apparently into the muscle. I am contemplating the fissurectomy that my Dr. is pushing for, but I am still very scared about it, with all of the "side effects" it has. I am trying to learn about Happy's macrobiotic ways of healing, but it's going slow for me.
My question: If you have had an anal fissure that was so deep it was into the muscle, do you know if it was capable of healing on it's own using the creams given you and dietary changes? I so want to avoid the surgery. I'm only 41 years old, and I don't look forward to releasing gas involuntarily in front of others, or being incontinent.
The pain is excruciating. I use ice packs almost every moment of every day, and I use the normally prescribed creams. Please share with me what has happened to you if you've had a deep cut like mine; it is so appreciated.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart,
NW
