Anal Fissure Support Forum

When I had the LIS, I didn't want it as I was really terrified of having butt surgery! But then I developed a fistula, so didn't have a choice. Then, I got another fissure this year which again developed into another fistula, so I had another fistulotomy. It was a high fistula and it was all laid op...

Actually, Andrea was answering your post on the 1st of september. So to come on here and start another argument about it nearly a month later is somewhat ridiculous. You started it all up again by saying that your CRS doesn't consider botox surgery and neither do you. WE ALL KNOW THAT!! We have been...

Oh, poor you! Mine felt like it tightened up again too! Have you got any nitro or diltiazem that you could try again?

Ar, I remember those times well too! As Dawn says - a heating pad would help. I sat on a hot water bottle 24/7, it does help a bit! Have you got one of the healing creams? Nitro or diltiazem could help you out a bit. I had valium too, as Dawn says, it could help a lot and give you some sleep. I have...

Miralax is very good once it gets working! Colace is rubbish! And lots of fibre can sometimes just make for huge BMs which will really hurt!
Hope the miralax works for you!

Tony, it can only get better after LIS!! As Dawn says, many of us, me included, had other things done at the same time which made the procedure more sore. I had a tag removal with stitches and a fistulotomy at the same time as LIS. But it feels looser as soon as you wake up - the spasms will be gone...

Hi Sarah - a very big welcome to you! Your story is all too familiar! As your fissure is still in it's acute stage (only just!) you may still be able to heal with conservative methods alone, but if it carries on, you may need some medical help like botox, or LIS. Sorry you're suffering - but you've ...

I used to use magnesium every night - then it just upset my tummy every time I used it. But it did work for a long time http://r15.imgfast.net/users/1514/24/56/02/smiles/382823.gif Yes, I thought it was a bit suspicious too - as you say, nothing is for nothing in this world! I am going to my GP on t...

Hi Tim,
welcome on board! Congratulations on getting your surgery done. The first week or so is the worst - hopefully you should start seeing some kind of improvement soon.
I really hope you can enjoy your wedding and honeymoon and that you are well on your way to healing by then.

Aw thanks Sue :D well, no change really! I've still got the leaking, bleeding and irritation. I must say that the salbutamol did make things feel more relaxed - might be worth a try for anyone that can't use the healing creams...... I got the bill in for the MRI, trying to sort it out but being pass...
