I am new to this forum but unfortunately not new to the pain of Anal Fissure........now fissures. I have been suffering on and off since July 2009. It did heal after a 2nd injection of botox in April 2010 but in 2011 I had breast cancer........all cured now but the chemo made me v constipated so the AF returned. It healed again and then in 2011 I had a failed breast reconstruction surgery lasting 20 hours and boy did all that anaesthetic and morphine give me terrible constipation.........back came the fissure. I have had two botox injections in the past two months, the last one last Friday, this is last chance saloon for me........if this doesn't work it is going to be the LIS surgery which really scares me. I so sympathise with Hendrick when he says I can't take this anymore........either can I, my life is on hold, I can't plan anything. My family are wonderful but they must be so fed up with me being unwell and in pain all the time..........I think my friends and work colleagues must think I am a fruit cake as some days I am in so much pain I end up running up and down the stairs to try to create blood flow to my backside to help healing...........sorry to be a moan but I am just praying it heals soon
