Anal Fissure Support Forum

So is it better to have pain from the skin tag? Can it still hurt even if the fissure is healed/healing? Does it feel more like a really bad ache? Like a toothache, sort of!

I asked my doctor to refer me to a private hospital- the Nuffield, because I have had 2 very traumatic experiences with our NHS system, but you can be refferred on the NHS by the doctor, and I don't think it takes too long to wait .My appointment costЈ120, but I have a health insurance that pays 75%...

How do you know if the pain is coming from the skin tag or the fissure? Is there a difference in the pain? I thought mine was healing nicely but its been hurting again the last couple of days, and also the opposite side. Any ideas?

My CRS over here in the UK said that if the LIS didn't work, they could put in a flap of skin over it.

its a good thing we all seem to have understanding husbands/partners. I've only attempted "it" twice in the past 5 months, it didn't hurt at the time, although it put me off because I thought it was going to! My poor husband is terrified of hurting me so he's given up!! :( I suppose we all...

I found that ice wrapped in a tiny plastic bag, just after a BM helped greatly, then getting in a hot bath, also sitting on a hot water bottle. The creams and supplements help, and also trying to relax, and accept it takes a long time to heal. I kept thinking at first that it would be healed in a fe...

Hi! Anoheal is brilliant stuff, with no side effects, but its not easily obtained. If you ask your doctor for it, he'll give you a prescription, but most of the chemists, even the main ones like Boots, say they can't get it. I eventually found one that special orders it in for me, but that can take ...

Thanks, I didn't know that. I have spinach, rocket and watercress with either salmon or crab for dinner most nights, so that's one less thing to worry about!

Thank- you!!
