Hi everyone, just signed up to this forum
I (unfortunately!) am back in the 'gang' I had an acute fissure 17 years ago that required surgery. Have had a few minor probs since then but they have cleared themeselves without meds.
3 weeks ago I had immense pain during a BM as I had an upset stomach after a heavy night out. I have been in agony since the. Dr has prescribed rectalgesic that I have been using for 5 days but there is no let up in the pain. I get severe pain before a BM, and once I have been I have the pain for the whole day, it even wakes me up. Even when I have wind it is very painful. I am not & never havebeen constipated or bled. Can anyone offer me any advice, I am in agony & of course starting to wonder if I am going to have trhe dreaded surgery again. I am not sure whether I should carry on with the ointment or try something non medicated, ie homeopathic . All help welcome please.
