Hi everyone,
I am new to your forum and because you all have shared information with me and given me much guidance, I would just like to share with you my results so far for the Canasa suppositories. Many of you have much more experience than I with these, this is, as far as I know, my first chronic fissure. The CRS that I went to Monday gave me these suppositories that are typically not prescribed for these, however, after reading everything I could, it seems like it might make sense for some- I have to say that it is two days after starting them and I have seen an amazing, immediate improvement in my symptoms. I feel like myself. After two months of agony, pain, depression, etc. I am not suggesting that this will work for everyone, I just wanted to share with all of you that I was taking the nifedipine for a month, and this Dr ( the 3rd one) simply wrote me this prescription, told me to switch from Colace to Miralax and come back in three weeks. After the CRS I saw last week was ready to operate. The Canasa had a very high co-pay..with my insurance it was $ 135. But for my particular situation, it has been a miracle. I just wanted to share the information, I would never have asked about this medicine, since everything I was reading ranged from calcium channel blockers to blood pressure medicine, and this does not come up as being used in the treatment of fissures. I have no idea why the Dr. prescribed this, or how it knew it would work for me. I do know that on my follow up visit in three weeks I am going to kiss him and ask him to marry me. :)
