hey my fissure friends,
great site going here! really helps to know your not going insane with the pain alone! a little about me and my fissure.
1st time . never had anything like this before. I think I may have got it from an almighty angel gas I let rip one morning a few days ago. still half asleep, I was like man that hurt! back to sleep. no real problem during the day just a little uncomfort, but by the evening I knew something was up cause I could barely walk. The pain kept building day by day until I went to the doctor yesterday. 1st doctor said haemoroid, I thought great, some meds, a few days and I'll be all good.
This morning though was the worst pain nearly of my life. .started getting contractions (or sphincter spasms it seems to be called from reading some posts) and these where like 2-3 seconds of a jagged bread knife been shoved up my ass and they kept coming. went to another doc today - anal specialist - and he said straight away fissure. nearly fainted with the pain during the examination. . but thank f*ck the prescriptions are taking the pain away. not completely but much better than before.
Hoping it can heal. Anyone know how long it may take in general to heal (if at all)? or can anyone point me to the "essential reads" on this site for pain relief and healing?
hoping to get a good night sleep after 5 nights of hell!
