Normal Sphincter but still have fissure pain

Postby Alyssa » 25 Jun 2014, 17:07

According to doctors I have a normal sphincter (have not had any tests done other than their opinion), so if there is a small fissure that is not visible during examination, why is it not healing on its own?

Botox and LIS are used to relax the sphincter when it is tight, right?... but mine is normal...has anyone had a normal sphincter but still had fissure like pain or a fissure? I am seeing a PT and it has not helped with the pain but it has only been two months.

Yes alyssa, I do.
My fissure was created by having my hems banded and skin tags removed.... The fragile skin just tore with my first bm and just won't heal. I have had pressure tests done and it shows I have a normal anal resting pressure, that's why I am now awaiting anal flap surgery.
