Hi!
first of all, trust me - i know smoking is bad for you.
But does anyone know if smoking is good or bad for the fissure? I stopped smoking a month ago, HOPING it would help. The sad truth is.. doesnt seem like it did ;( and smoking is the only 'good' thing i had left in these times of agony.. (i know, it sounds terrible). Shouldnt it heal faster when you don't smoke? or could the nicotine help reduce the spasms?
i remember when the pain was at its worst.. after a BM, i would lie down, the pain would get a tiiiny tiny bit better, but as soon as i got outside for a cig, it got worse.. it was either the cigarette, or the fact that i was walking.. (standing and walking is always way worse than staying in bed).
so.. it might be a silly question, but does anyone know?
