Greeting and Salutations.
First time poster, long time butt bleeder, here for the introduction. 33 yo M, Just tripped across this site after being at my wits end and am happy to see an active community on the topic. I have pained through a fissure for the last few years and used some glyceryn based medicine from my Colorectal doc on the fissure with some regularity. Finally, after years of the ripping and the tearing, I decided to up my game and have a Botox injection about a month ago.
Prior to the injection, I was in mild discomfort during the day, but the ever present pain while going to the restroom and feeling that tear following by the bloodletting which would happen a few times a week. Botox seemed to help for a few days, but after the first tear after the injection, things have gotten progressively worse and the pain is constant. Each bowel movement is a major setback and I find it takes a while to recover from the pain even when I have nice poo consistency. The pain seems to be around the spot of the injection or even more of the area than before, but since I can't see what's going on down there it's hard to tell.
Anyone else who had Botox have a similar experience or anything to advise? Also any place in particular on the site I should focus on?
Thanks and I hope you all heal quickly!
