Hi!
I am new and this thing started last year. I did sitz baths and diltiazem and I got better. My symptoms got better--the pain is still there.
This summer it suddenly felt worse. I have pain for many hours after BM and I can't really tell but it seems like maybe now there are two fissures. I have a lot of what seems like the sentinel tags or hemorrhoids. The whole thing is kiling me.
I have two weeks until my appointment with a CRS doc and I am really scared. I don't want to get surgery because I'm in the middle of Lyme disease treatment which involves taking a lot of antibiotics. But I don't think I can live with this level of pain. It didn't hurt this badly the first time. Is it possible that I could have torn a muscle inside or something like that?
I wish I still had the dilitiazem from before, although I suspect the condition has advanced to the point that it won't help.
