I use 1cm nitro 15 min before my morning BM, and shower afterwards. Dont have a sitzbath.
Then I apply either diltiazem or nitro after BM, and nitro again at 8pm.
I eat much heathier now, and take Husk twice daily. I also drink plenty of water, and stay away from red meat, and chicken. I have managed to keep my BM very soft and easy to pass without straining at all. I think my fissure was caused by spending too much time at the toilet, and straining.
I did improve somewhat after 2-3 weeks at nitro, but I still have burning and irritation. Maybe 3/10 on the painscale. Used to be 9/10. It also seems that my spasms are nearly gone, but the burn continues :(
But its been 1-2 weeks like this with no further improvement, so Im starting to think I might not be healing. Maybe its just my fissure thats turned cronic. I also have a sore bump at the fissure site.
It just seems like every other nitro guy are doing better than me...
