Hi,
My fissure started 3 and a half years ago after the birth of my first son. I used diltizem cream and had botox. The botox eased the pain to a soreness which I could live with.
10 weeks ago I gave birth to my second son. I was so careful not to make the fissure worse but surprise surprise it came back 3 weeks after the birth.
I am currently feeling very low, I can't see the end of the pain, I am so annoyed that during pregnancy the fissurer was fine. All my doc said for after the birth was not to get constipated and I haven't.
I take normacol in the evenings and try to drink as much as I can. Never strain when I go to the loo but the pain is awful at the moment.
I talk to my hubby and mum but they don't truely understand. Not told my friends as I am too embaressed.
I next see the consultant in 3 weeks. Hopefully he will come up with something.
I just needed to vent and hopefully find some people going through the same thing.
Sorry to moan but I am sure most of you will know where I am coming from.
I can't believe a condition I had never heard of has taken over my life.
