Hello - I am a new mom who acquired fissures shortly after birth. I think these are worse than any part of labor because there doesn't seem to be an end in sight! I am so tired of being afraid of the bathroom, being in such pain and bleeding. I have had them now for 7 weeks. They are interfering with taking care of my newborn because walking/sitting/standing all hurts.
I went to a proctologist 3 weeks ago who gave me nipedifine. It seemed to be working but then I got terribly sick with a hacking cough and I think this opened up the fissures again.
I was wondering who has had good luck w/ the nipedifine? How long did it take to make a full recovery using it? Did you do anything in addition to using it? I am using Colace and fiber.
I have also heard to try Tinactin? Anyone try this with any success?
Thanks so much, only people who suffer from fissures understand how debilitating they really are.
