Hi JD, I had Botox on the 4th April. I was sore and have been experiencing tingling and itching. I also had hems banded, so woke up in more pain! The Fissures felt raw again and very open. Prior to the Botox, i was in pain 24/7 and the burning was crazy.After 2/3 weeks i am seeing an improvement. (KNOCK ON LOTS OF WOOD!!)
I have no real pain on BM, I am going straight into sitz bath after BM, then drying the area thoroughly with soft cotton pads, then a hairdrier (Yes a hairdrier). The Nurse told me to keep the area as dry as possible. The CRS prescribed Fybogel, but i found that the BM was huge! so i am taking Movicol. 1/2 a sachet after lunch, then 1 sachet after eve meal. I also find Linseeds, Kiwi fruit and papaya help to keep stools softer. My stools are still largeish but soft! Hope this helps.
