Anal Fissure Support Forum

Hi everyone! Just had LIS this afternoon. I'm at home recovering, and I keep getting those searing, stabbing pains we're all too familiar with. Is it normal for the sphincter to still spasm after surgery (if that's in fact the source of the pain)? I'm worried that this is an early sign that the surg...

oh god, I'm feeling this pushing spasm that many people have described in this Forum. The thing is that before I use to have painful spasms now they are a pushing feeling, honestly I don't know which one bothers me more. This is driving me crazy http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/affraid.gif ...

Hi- I've read so much here about pain and spasms but I'm wondering if folks would define their experiences of pain. I would consider myself to have anal pain that has various stages and levels etc. but I would like to know fully so I am defining ...

... a high tolerance for pain, and I had been doing better. But when my fissures are at their worst, I've at times cried out and whimpered during the spasms.

... can only speculate as to why this works, but for me, doing sit-ups, particularly decline sit-ups with my legs far raised, helps temporarily reduce spasms and pain for me. It might work by relieving the pressure down there, encouraging blood flow to the region, forcing my internal organs to contract ...

Ok, new here and kinda emberassed. A few months ago, I started having burning pain just inside rectum, mostly isolated at a specific area. I have never had hemorrhoids, so I assumed thats what it was. Every OTC medication was not helping, so I went to see my practitioner. My pain felt like a combina...

I looked around, but couldn't find any discussion of the real purpose of nitro. I just got a tube of it, but over the passed couple weeks my spasms have disintegrated and my pain is gone during BMs. I still definitely have a fissure, blood, stupid skin tags, etc. but it looks like nitro is for ...

... but really compared to a fissure- it was like nothing). After a week it seemd to be doing well and then a BM on Sunday set it angry- more painful spasms- starting fromn the site it was excised, and then again today, spasms lasting on hour and then soreness all day. I guess I don't know what to ...
