4 months after fissurectomy and the pain is back
Posted , 5 users are following.
I am a 30 year old man who suffered from fissures for the last 6 years. It finally became so unbearable that 4 months ago I had a fissurectomy procedure and at the same time, the surgeon took out a hemorrhoid which I wasn’t even aware of. The operation went well and I had a good recovery. It took me 3 months and I returned to my regular routine including working out and swimming. Two and a half months after the surgery, I started feeling pain after an effort of a BM. Since then, for the last month, the pain increases daily. I have been taking warm baths and bowel softener and have continued on a high fiber diet. I put on nitroglycerin cream twice a day and the pain only increases. I went back to the surgeon a week ago. He told me that the fissure did not return but that I have inflammation. He gave me a foam – cortifoam to put on before bed. This is not the same pain as before surgery. The pain is less intensive than before the surgery but before the surgery, a few hours after a BM, I was no longer in excruciating pain. Now, it intensifies around BM but the pain continues much of the day. If I lay down and don’t move, it is not so bad. When I am up, it hurts more when I stand than when I walk. Has anyone had a similar condition and what can you recommend?

so alternative products you may have to badger for from the doctor but worth it.

i am really trying to research if ill have no other option then doing another operation. It is my last choice but i am truly starting to feel like im 90 years old. Never thought that when ill cross 30 ill need to go threw so much pain...
I will check about those creams. But it is pretty deep inside so i doubt that if i put neosporin it will actually reach the spot. Any other tips that i might find in handy?

I am in year 4 (or is it 5) of anal fissure pain. 2 rounds of botox which did little (long story of bad results/experience from 2nd botox) - currently in pain during and after BMs.
Went to see private cosultant at Spire Hospital (private) in Reading.
Recommended Sphincterectomy and Fissurectomy.
Having read one too many non-success stories I cancelled the planned procedure and now going back to my NHS consultant to discuss next steps.
Waiting on appt.
Meanwhile I have just started a PRIVATE FB group (if anyone is interested). Reason is it is a little easier to exchange information and store documents etc.
Privacy is utmost so its a geoup that nobody can see unless a member.
If you are interested just search Facebook for analfissuresupport
Hope to see some of you there to chat through this terrible condition
