Hi and sorry for bothering.
I'm relatively new around here and I have the same old problem: an anal fissure which doesn't want to let itself healed. I'm not an English speaker and I apologize for any language mistakes, which I'm sure it would be plenty. I'm struggling with my AF for about 7 months and living the nightmare of my life. I don't know what to do anymore, I've reduced my diet to oatmeal, boiled vegetables and veggie soup, after struggling with lactulose for six months I've finally found Miralax or the version here is Forlax, I've got my hands on Rectogesic and start using it.....but it only takes a very little harder stool and I'm back to square one. Yesterday I came back from my CRS and started crying and wishing for dead: I had a bit of pain with a larger stool but after the anoscopy increased tremendously. I tried once Botox and I'm about to try it again but my main problem is that I cannot trust anymore the doctors in this country. When I asked them for LIS (a CRS and a gastroentherologist) , they only told me about anal incontinence and how I'm going to live the rest of my life with leaking gas and/or feces. How can I trust them to cut me when I only hear from them about incontinence?
Please, if you know, could you tell me about some clinics or doctors in London (I would prefer) or anywhere else in Europe because here one is left to die or to suffer. I cannot take it anymore, I really cannot, my work suffered because of this and soon enough they would start to fire people, I kind of ...let's say , put myself in perilous situations, I don't know what to do anymore. I have some savings and I can only pray to be enough for a consultation/surgery abroad.
Forgive me for being so melodramatic but this small tear in my anus has almost destroyed me. Not even a cancer threat didn't frighten me so much. Nobody seems to understand me, my family least of all and the worst part of all is that my faith in God, which survived persecutions and derision, is seriously shaking. Please, if you know a good CRS in UK, let me know!
