Anyone have fissure far inside?

Postby hopefulbutt » 19 Jun 2013, 09:25

Just wondering. Crs saw small one outside and have me botox for it but I told her the pain feels inside of raw and soreness. Don't think she saw anything inside though. The pain feels farther inside. I think the botox kicked in but does not reach the soreness. Any similar experiences? Thanks

Hi hopeful,
I have 2 fissures, one that starts externally (which is incredibly sore right now after having a tag removed & Botox) and an internal one further up. I feel them at slightly different times but consecutively whilst having a Bowel Movement.

Hi hopefullbutt, I know that there is a possibility to get internal fissures too.

Mine is internal. It was 1.5cm long in the beginning. Given my anal canal is 2cm long, I guess my fissure counts as going as far inside as it can be.

Mine is also internal. You can't see it looking from the outside, but if you part the anal skin back a bit, you can see it (as long as I'm not really nervous and tight down there). The anal canal ranges from 2 to 4 cm in length, from what I've read, and some fissures can even extend past the pectinate/dentate line (the transitional line that separates the anus from the rectum). The rectum (area above the dentate line) does not have pain-sensitive nerve endings like the anus does (only pressure-sensitive nerve endings), according to WebMD.
January 2013 - Diagnosed with fissure. Eventually turned chronic.
History of IBS and anxiety disorder, along with fear of using bathrooms other than my own caused it.
Tried Diltiazem, but eventually developed a rash.
LIS surgery scheduled August 26th.

Very interesting Luka.  Sometimes I think mine extends farther up and can't be much seen but feels raw and causes the muscles to be sore all the time.

Welsh double has the botox helped both your fissures? I feel like the bottom half of my canal is in less pain put muscle is still quite sore inside.

Hi hopeful, I'm on day 15 of Botox and I'm not sure if it has kicked in yet, I'm keeping my stools soft soft soft and trying not to push when on the loo.
I've had a pretty good fortnight compared to how it was pre-surgery. I still feel the fissure as my stools pass it. It gets a little uncomfortable but not that razor blade feeling I used to get. I used to feel 2 different razor feelings whilst going. In only feeling one of them slightly now. I guess that might be a sign that it working maybe?
All in all, I'm in a better place and understanding the routine I need to be following to start healing.
If the Botox hasn't taken affect in the next week then I guess it's already started.
Chin up hopeful,

Thanks welsh. I am at day 18. After a week I could feel it finally kick in but not before I tore once again. Ugh! It has helped I agree but was really expecting the muscle soreness to be gone. I am bummed that it is still there but perhaps it will get better as the fissure heals. Just not sure if the botox was put high enough up on sphincter muslces

Hi,
Just a question....
My CRS told me that all fissures are internal - Can someone with an "external" fissure explain exactly where theirs is located?
Really curious about this - Is it that as Welsh says they can start/ end on the outside of the anus and then kind of carry on up internally??
Thanks all!
