Hi guys
back to square one. had to be sedated for an endosopy on Wednesday, didn't eat for a couple of days, slightly firmer BM & here we go again!
Have has fissure since 11 May, caused from too much alcohol & spicey food, don't suffer from constipation & have had no blood.
Doctor prescribed rectogesic, gave up after 10 days as I was really irritated by it both internally & externally.
Paid to see CRS privately & he said i would have to have EUA & depending on what he found would do botox / LIS (as a last resort, gave the impression only if botox didn't work) & possibly strech anal passage (nice!) also prescribed diltiazem cream 2%
So my questions are.....
Booked in for EUA 23 July on NHS, quicjk I guess, do you think this is a bit soon as I have only had problem since 11 May?
What is peoples opinion of diltiazem over recto, how long shall I give it?
I had LIS twice 17 years ago & so vividly remember the horrific effects post surgery, was off work for 3 weeks & obviously only want to go through the whole surgey thing if there really is no alternative
So, now i am taking lactolose in moderate amounts, it was diaherea (bad spelling!) that caused this in first place so need to avaoid that
In pain 24/7, obviously worse straight after BM, but the pain never goes away.
Any advice would be really welcome, although i am trying to stay positive, it is hard, especially concentrating at work etc
Thanks guys
