sorry but, what does the acronyms CRS and TCM mean?
I have an appt tomorrow to see my surgeon in ontario. I am thinking he is not as "special" as I need him to be. He did not give me a full exam when I first saw him, only poked "here..here..here" and I said ouch, and his reply was just "yeah, you have a fissure". I tried to explain to him the "growth" (by this time I wasnt familiar with the term sentinel pile, which I discovered online), and he just blew me off and prescribed some nitro.
And yeah I am noticing that the nitro doesnt really do anything for me anymore. However the SENTINEL is far far more painful than the fissure ever was. I saw a medical diagram once that had it all laid out and said a specific group of cells around it sends out those pain signals like no tomorrow. I dont even know if I still have a fissure but that sentinel is a PAIN! It is hard on the end of it near the 12 o clock position. I have thought that if the sentinel is there, then the fissure must still be.
Thanks for telling me about the botox. Hadnt heard that it was ineffective against sentinels. Now I am at my wit's end trying to figure out what route to take..aloe vera..emu oil..or what? If the nitro didnt cure me what will? Is aloe a waste of time?
