Wow, I can't believe there is a place to discuss this. I had not even heard of a "Fissure" until last Thursday. For the past I don't know how long (over a month) I've been suffering Skin Tags and what I believed were Hemorrhoids due to stomach issues. My Nephrologist did an Anal and discovered a Fissure. I had to look it up to see what it is. He prescribed Lidocaine and Nitroglycerine but I am not sure about using the Nitro because I am a terrible headache sufferer anyway and from what I've read, I really don't want to go there. The Lidocaine sounds good just for the numbing aspect.
I saw one doctor who specialized in Hemorrhoids and it was a horrible experience. He literally insulted me for practically crying when he stuck that tool in my anus to open it up and he told me I am not a candidate for surgery. Apparently, I do have quite a few Skin Tags but the doctors seem to think they should not be bothersome.
I am really tired of being in pain and barely wanting to walk or go anywhere. I am trying to take care of my stomach issues which I know will help with this but...
