Hi! I had my son about 19 months ago (and just had my daughter 5 months ago) after the birth of my son I got a fissure.

It has been on and off since then. I wouldn’t say the pain is excruciating (some days are worse than others). I am considering Botox because I am done with this pain.
* I’m not sure if I’m getting spasms? Sometimes I feel a vibrating and I just am really sore after BM

Any success stories? I have two small children and am worried about a bad outcome!

Hi, Have you seen anyone about this yet?

Yeah! I saw a CRS tried nifedipine. Nothing seems to help

I've just been to see the CRS a week ago and was started on NEOZEM cream its Diltiazem Hydrochloride. I've to use this for 2 months and then go back. Next thing is to try will be botox if this doesn't work. Botox Does seem to help a lot of people. Please keep us posted on what you decide to do and if it works for you. Good luck

Hi spasms vary from a tingling, burning soreness to a rolling on the carpet screaming agony it depends on the severity and the natural resting tone of your IS
If the creams haven’t worked then Botox is a good next step. I had Botox and it stopped my spasms (the screaming kind) from day one and by week six I was just having a bit of burning for 20 mins after a BM (my spasms could last 8/24 hours) so Botox gave me many pain free months. We have also had a few members recently who have healed fully with Botox including bum UK and mamafizz who both wrote diaries
Good luck

Did you have any unpleasant side effects?

Hi your story is yet like mine including the kiddos and I had Botox today you can follow my story it's in the general fissure discussion and it's called just Botox after all
