Hi all
I have come across this forum after suffering from fissures since 2008. Can I just say how what a brilliant site this is! :)
I have suffered for years with my enemy Mr Fissure, I have been on creams, suppositries, GTN the works. My fissure hasn't healed properly for a good year now, other than when i had my first lot of botox in feb, when it eased off for 3 weeks. I always feel it rip and normally try not to have a blart fest in the bathroom. I have piles internally, skin tags (what are these lol?!) and this lump externally that likes to swell up and down all the time (maybe a shy pile lol not quite sure?!) I have been using a pile cushion since march but it doesnt do too much :(
I am booked in for a second round of botox, removal of piles and skin tag. I am just waiting for my appointment to come through. Has anyone else had botox twice? My consultant said because the fissure is old I would have to have it scrapped first and then botoxed so its a fresh wound to heal. Has anyone else had this done? Any info would be appreciated folks :)
Im doing my best to be cheerful about the situation, I can be tearful at times, but thanks to this website I have hope now!!
Please advise :) x
