Thank god i found this, very frustrated with AF issue!!
Would love some inputs on my challenge with the goal to heal this problem and end the pain!!
Discovery; Had a prostrate biopsy and the after effect was a Rectal Fissure, oh joy!!!! As you already know the pain was beyond description and it took several months to determine it was a RF.
Treatment; Started with Anucort Rectal Supp with the Rectiv 0.4% ointment. Good news I went from passing large hunks of broken glass to small hunks of broken glass.
Still using Anucort Supp which seem to help the morning ritual but now on Bethamethsone Val 0.1%, again sustaining pain level. Also using the baby wipes which was a very good idea, less irritation. My Doctor has given me a diet recommendation, limit caffeine, beer, wine, etc. which i don't understand since my diet has not changed from the onset and the cause was the biopsy, anyway I'm limiting intake just in case. For the record I have never been one with firm BM's, always normal to soft.
So the question is this a good course of action? Should I try something else, anything else to put this issue to bed, i.e. Dr Wheatgrass? Others? I think I'm getting close to healing but it lingers and when it goes bonkers the pain, as you all know, is incredible.
Thanks for your help!!!!!!!
