After 1.5 years of dealing with a fissure, i decided to get the surgery. I had a partial internal spincterotomy and fissurectomy. The CRS said that I had two " very deep" fissures and removed 2 large skin tags. So i have many stiches up there:) and stitches on the outside for the PIS.
My CRS prescribed Hydrocodone and Lidocaine topical ointment. I am at "9" on 1-10 scale. My butt is on fire and a ton of pain!! I called the CRS office this morning and told them the medicine was not even touching the pain. They stated " Take more of the hydrocodone and come into the ER." What are your thoughts?
I have taken a Sitz bath and taking the medicine and ointment religiously. Anyone else had deep fissures like this? I need some advice on what to expect and what to do....HELP!!!
