Mine started end of May 2018 after a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. Literally out of the blue. It was awful. The fissure wasn’t dx till about month later. It’s right where the hem was. Since July I’ve been on nitroglycerin cream and at first it healed me then 2 weeks later setback. Then I got a month healed. Then 7 weeks healed. Then after thanksgiving I got a new retear and then a new thrombosed external hemorrhoid!! How unlucky! Today it was confirmed the hem shrunk and not bothering me but the tiny little fissure reopened. So I’m hoping since the hem resolved maybe it will help the fissure heal. I think what contributed to this recent setback was I started having wine again here and there, decaf coffees with cream, chocolates. I just can’t have those things! I’m ok with that. This is def a game changer in lifestyle. I have to commit to this for life. It’s the only way I heal. So my dr said next week when I follow up with him we can assess better if still want Botox.
