Anal Fissure Support Forum

... pea sized amount of the ointment right up there. At least that's what I've read in my own research, so I think you got the better advice from the Rudd doc. The decision about surgery is a very personal one. I don't want to suggest one way or the other, but I definitely understand where you are ...

... away when the pain does after about 6-8 hours so it is obviously related. After going back to my GP for a second opinion he referred me to The Rudd Clinic in Toronto. (details of this nightmare are in another thread) Anyway they stuck a scope up me and said I had a fissure and anusitis. They ...

It is strange how many people are posting about the Rudd right now. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised - getting to see a colorectal surgeon in southern ontario is more difficult than getting a private interview with the queen! I imagine that the ...

... the time so the mood is lighter in my house too. Have fun camping this weekend! Hopetoheal, I can't believe how many new posters are going to the Rudd clinic!

I went to the Rudd Clinic yesterday for a examination. I have tremendous pain following a bowel movement that last 6-8 hours. My GP sent me to the Rudd clinic. I had a BM the morning before I headed down for my appointment. I almost ...

hi again mashmetoo - I really can't say if things would go better with Dr. Rudd or not. I do think that a large part of my own bad experience had to do with Dr. McKenna being a j**kass. The needles I got were 'freezing needles'. I might have a low pain threshold ...

... hopetoheal. I tried 0.2% nitro for a few weeks, I found out that I bled slightly more with the nitro, so I stopped using it 2 years ago.
