So like 5 years ago I had a thrombosed hem fixed at a kindly older surgeons office, we had mutual friends, got along very well. He was happy to help.
Maybe 3 weeks ago, I visited him for the same thing, easy in and out. Healed nicely, but needed to call him about the pressure I was feeling. He told me to get in the bath, hot as I could stand, stay there for how long I cant remember, and repeat 3 times a day. I did abide. After a week or so I made another appointment to check in and to have him have a look at the stingy, itchy, strange
pimple-like protrusion about a third of the way into my anus.
So for a solid two weeks, I have had a fissure, and I am working hard to keep it from getting out of hand. I have screwed off so much at work, reading testimonials, diets, formulas, complications, and failures. There are only a few things that everyone agrees are forbidden...other than that, smear some honey, Absorbine Jr., sage oil, olive oil, oil oil, window sealant, super glue, whatever on your bum.
I am pleased to have AFSF as a resource. I will help in whatever way I can, but I am wanting to not allow this to go any farther...ie: RX drugs, knives, etc.
I have an appt. for 2 weeks from now to see a CRS, but it would be neat to be able to skip it, and really change the way I eat and live.
Thanks for reading,
Chas.
