Squatting and miralax helped me. I had fissure for months. I took a big poop and then I was pooping blood and crying while trying to sit in car. I went to crs and doctors... Tried everything. Finally I found these things that helped. I drove around for five hours today with no cushion and was fine! Things that helped-cap full of miralax right before dinner. Miralax works at night.i poop as soon as I wake up.i do this every night. It took about two months of this before I noticed significant progress. Felt like a never ending story about my butt ( delasama's fissure diary in general fissure discussion section). I am finally on road to healing! I also did lots of other little tricks religiously, but finding the right amount of miralax took over a month. I started taking miralax capful morning and night. It gave me soft poops which didn't hurt as much, but I pooped atleast twice a day. I got brave after a month and started just taking miralax cap full right before dinner. Now I poop as soon as I wake up and then I have all day and night to heal. Every few days I might poop twice in a day. It took months of spasms and pooping blood to figure this out. I don't even take vitamins anymore. I think miralax and squatting and alot of patience did the trick. I also went gluten free which could have helped. I have healed so much in the last two months. If I keep this up then I will have forgot about fissure in another month. I'm going to continue miralax for a year though. I have no pain during or after bm now. Mild random spasms if I sit alot right after I poop. My crs said that it would take atleast a few months to heal with miralax. I didn't believe him. Now I believe him.
