    Hello. I had a fissure since August 2016. I tried diet change, sitz baths 3 to 4 times per day, nifedipine paste, Linzess.Nothing helped. I used Tucks and Preparation H for my severe hemrrhoids. I was at my end and in excruciating pain with no quality of life. I decided to have a LIS done on Dec. 30th and I am on the road to recovery. My fissure pain is gone. I am on Percocet for pain, Mirilax to keep stools soft, sitz baths 3 to 4 times per day and using a heating pad. I do have horrible pains after BM's but they say that will get easier. I highly recommend getting the surgery and healing that fissure once and for all then work on the problem that caused it in the first place. My cause was Chronic Constipation. Best of luck to you I know what a horrible experience this is.

      Having a fissure is the worse pain ever. I am terrified of getting another one. I am making major lifestyle changes in diet and exercise after this ordeal. Ughhhhhh. I sure hope the Botox helps you.

    Here are some suggestions I have for you to help you through:

    1. Try somee zinc oxide in the form of calmoseptine which has menthol to soothe the area down there as well. Calmoseptine can be bought at almost any local drugstore and can be bought online too.

    2. Try squatting when going on the toilet instead of sitting. This is a much  helathier position and the poop sometimes will just slide out,  no pushing or straining involved.

    3. I would definately take a fiber supplement, specifically metamucil  is what I take evveryday,  in ordr to allow your stools to be soft and to allow them to pass thorugh easily. THis being said, with any fiber supplemetn, you must drink lots of water when using them, or they will not work veffectively. Also, do not take too much as too much fiber can irritate your bowels on the way  out and diarreah actually does worse down there.

    4. I would recommend getting a sphicteronomy surgery if htings dont get better. I waited it out, gave up, had the surgery, and was able to heal within about two weeks. I had a chronic fissure, so I knew where you are ocming from with v all the pain and discomfort.

    Try listening to music to distract your mind a bit, especially when going to the bathroom. If you are in writing pain, distract yourself with a movie or TV show right after. Also, to prevent myself from screaming and from putting more stress in the area down  there, i bit down on a washcloth in order to make the tensions with my teeth instead of my sphicter muscle.

    Hope this helps!!!

    Best,

    Myles
