Nahkti,
Sorry to read through your plight but just wanted you to know and gain reassurance from the fact that YES, anal fissures can heal. I used Diltiazem cream for 7 weeks extremely successfully (along with all the other stuff you need to do!) I think it took a total of about 4 months to heal my fissure, which had become chronic but I got there! Finally confirmed as healed and no issues (touch wood) since. That was back in March of this year. The key to healing& the time the process takes varies from individual to individual but there are many success stories! Have faith you will get there in the end (and some patience too!) and hoping you will find your "cure" very soon. All the best to you....
Chronic Fissure diagnosed December 2011
Healed by Diltiazem around Feb 2013
Anal Fistula followed burst abscess in June 2012
2 internal troublesome piles remain & suspected, but undiagnosed, ongoing Levator Ani type symptoms & flare-ups
