Hi all,
Ever get the feeling that your butt is mad at you for something?
The fissure from hemmie is still acting up. Hard to tell how bad it is when it is acting up. Better than a month and a half ago, though I 'm not sure if it is better than a month ago... but then again the botox is wearing off, so it is hard to tell.
Anyway, had a not so good weekend, poor me, I know... but that got me thinking about a few things, especially after the pain finally subsided today. The reason it subsided was that I tried a new (old) cream. I remembered a time before, during the spring, when a combo of Desitin and preparation H really did the trick. After a while though, it stopped working and even started irritating a little. Well, I deccided to tried it again this morning and it did the trick again. What's strange is that it wasn't the fissure that was hurting. It seems like the scar from the incision is sore and inflamed.
For the hemmie-turned-fissure itself, I found a burn cream last night with aloe, lidicaine, green trea extract and benzylconiumchloride (sp?), a very gentle disinfectant. It seems to relieve the fissure pain--tried it last night and this morning.
So my questions:
1) Does anyone else have a painful scar in the anal canal or rectum? If so, what do you do to help with the pain/inflammation?
2)Does anyone else have a painful scar anywhere on his/her body? If so, what do you do to help with the pain/inflammation?
