I just found this site and I guess if anyone can help then it's someone here.
I have been through all the procedures over the last 10 months after an anal fissure I got in May which I'm pretty just was caused my my GP when he checked my prostate.
I was a 40 year old man in good health and have lost 3 stone in weight since my first fissure.
To give you a potted history my fissure has re-opened around 12 times in the 10 months.
Firstly
Rectogestic GKN ointment then
Anoheal Cream
Dilitiazem pills, biscopan, diazepam,paracetamol,ibuprofen, Robaxin
As the NHS is so bad, I paid Ј1000 for Botox in October.
My fissure was healing a little and the surgeon didn't disturb it with the botox.
3 days later my fissure re-opened.
Went to a different Consultant (who is meant to be very good but has the bedside manner of a reptile) and had a partial LIS on Xmas Eve.
My first poop after the LIS ripped it open again.
Back into Emergency Admissions on Jan 3rd with a Haematoma under my stitches and was just sent away to let nature take it's course.
After, recovering somewhat it started to split open again 3 days ago and is getting progressively worse.
I can feel the muscle in spasm. How is this possible with a LIS ?
Today I have had Diazepam, Robaxin, Instillagel, Tramadol and Paracetamol and I am still in pain 12 hours after going to the toilet.
My diet is the same every day and consists or
Breakfast - Banana and Orange
Lunch - 20g Allbran + 30g porridge oats and an Orange
Dinner - Bean on toast with added bran + Yoghurt with added bran + some fruit
Nigh - a spoonful of lactulose
I haven't been back to work since my LIS and I'm losing my job anyway.
I have a couple of interviews that I will get but involve a lot of travelling.
I've pretty much had enough and would switch my life off if I had the courage.
What can I do ?
The medical profession are really not interested.
