Anal Fissure Support Forum

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could receive some feedback from people who have healed or are on the road to healing. My question is: What does your fissure look like when healed/as it's healing? I can still see a cut. It doesn't really hurt, but I can still see the little tiny slit and it is a pink...

Hi Hayleyw, I too wanna send you a virtual hug. I'm sorry about the slight retear, but I'm really glad it wasn't the worst of the worst. I know it's disappointing, but I am realizing this is a very slow, and I mean slowwww process, unfortunately. Great idea getting on the Diltiazem right away! If yo...

Shania213 - thank you for your concern and reply! I don't want to jinx anything, but I have been feeling a bit better the past few days and the bleeding has stopped since I started up on the Miralax. I am keeping updates over here: http://anal-fissure.org/anal-fissure-story-severe-anxiety-attacks-an...

Thanks dear SavaIci. :cheers: I went to my GE and she didn't seem to see anything. I think you are right and it was related to just the AF in regards to the sore pain. So for now, I am relieved. I hate that I am such a worrywart. This whole experience has made me so paranoid about everything that I ...

Hi SB, I 100% understand the frustration of having to take miralax everyday, putting your feet up, wiping with wet paper, sitz baths, watching your diet etc...it's ALOT of work and totally interferes with just carrying on a normal life not revolved around these things and schedules. I'm struggling w...

Oh Manitourose :( I'm sorry love that you are having a rough week. I second msimon, do you take anything to keep your BMs soft? I started taking Miralax a few days ago and it has been a game changer in keeping my stools soft!! People on this forum talk about it a lot, and I really do think it helps!...

Thanks Hayley! I have been slowly eating a little bit more. I had some thai food the other day (just some vegetable basil rice) and the next day my BM was still about the same level. I think Miralax has been helping a lot. The "plug effect" has somewhat gone away since starting the Miralax...

Hi all, For those of you who have had an anal abscess or fistula...what were your first symptoms? How did you realize you had one and what did it feel and look like? How long did it take for the pain to develop and was your pain constant and dull? Can you develop one due to an anal fissure? I have n...

Hi Canadabum, I am not sure if I am supposed to be updating my progress here or on my original thread from my first post titled: Anal Fissure Story + severe anxiety attacks http://anal-fissure.org/anal-fissure-story-severe-anxiety-attacks-and-losing-hope-t10040-10.html I just want you to know that, ...

Hi Jay1975, this is good to know! The bleeding seems to have mostly stopped since I posted this but as you know it is completely terrifying to see blood in your stool, especially when it's a lot. :( I see that you had a drastic improvement in symptoms. I hope you are continuing to do well and thank ...
