Hi there,
I am a 28 year old female with anal fissure that has REFUSED any course of treatment (laxatives, relaxant creams, syrups liquids etc) for 4/5+ years now. At the end of the line as this is affecting everything i do. A port of therapy i thought i'd try was this forum as i would be able to share my feelings and experiences with people who 'got me'. Family and friends struggling to see how this can affect me so much - words of support really on deaf ears as they have NO idea what this hell feels like. Heading for another exam under anaesthetic next week but doubtful i will have any 'answers'. Dr exam two days ago found pronounced fissure still there but three amigos of haemarroids has joined in the pain-fest. I have been prescribed morphine now for pain and have signed myself off work as i cannot continue like this anymore. Any words of support or experiences of surgery from getting fissure removed would be most helpful as i am so prepared for any kind of surgery regardless of risk factors. :)
