Hi everyone, thank you for all the suggestions. I'm grateful for this online community, and hearing all your stories. Makes me not feel alone in this fight.

I've made progress since my last post. I think I've gotten rid of my internal hemorrhoids, but now dealing with a fissure that won't heal. I've tried to keep my bowel movements smooth and taking a lot of fiber but still get light blood. The stinging and redness will not go away.

I'm applying coconut oil to the area as well. Any other suggestions. I'm around 6 weeks into this.

Sorry to hear about your fissure. Ouch! Have you tried a compounded med from the dr? A sitz bath would help too. They are no fun. The idea is to decrease inflammation and increase blood flow to the area. Keep is posted!

Ask your doctor for diltiazem cream that will help relax the muscle too or next step would be Botox which I had done 2 weeks ago an my biggest fear was that it would be worse afterwards which it's not I thinking I'm healing slowly I had my fissure for 4.5 years before this Botox but don't wait this long to get on top of it see a crs also to have them check what's going on.
