I don't have much of an answer but wanted to say I can relate Naomi. I had my fistulotomy in June 2014. It healed but now that is where I get a "fissure" tear, or basically the scar tissue tearing. So far the only thing recently that has helped to get some healing is a complete overhaul of my diet. Since I was diagnosed with celiac disease in Dec. 2015, I decided to heavily focus on fruits, veggies, less grains (quinoa and such). It's the 1st time I've had more healing in sometime. I find myself frustrated too with this scar tearing. I'm out of options myself.
Glad to hear the doctor did some silver nitrate to give that a shot. I also moved to a new city and then saw a well regarded CRS. He immediately wanted to do a fissure type surgery. Just not up for that after the fistulotomy. Let me know how you get on too!
