It's somewhat maddening I have found. My doctor has said that the fissure is healed and suggested that the pain is nerve pain, which she said will get better with time. How much time is another question. I have found that most doctors really don't know as everyone heals differently. I find it very frustrating because it's an area that you can't see for yourself to monitor progress. I've been going to physical therapy and the therapists have been a source of info and relief. There is just so much about nerves and muscles that most CRS's don't know about. I was told that burning could be nerves re awakening. And that area is all muscle and nerves so it makes sense that trauma to the area would take time to heal.
I do hope the diltiazem heals your fissure. Keep your stools soft, take softeners, eat well, exercise to get blood flowing to the area and hang in there!
