Desperate: Anal fissure- BOTOX treatment

So updates: It has been ten days since my BOTOX procedure. Lately I have felt like the pain to be very very deep and like my coccyx bone feels sore? I suppose that is the best way to describe it. I am feeling very hopeful though, perhaps not for this procedure, but perhaps the LIS.

As I mentioned in my first post (prior to the BOTOX), I have accidentally reopened my fissure. But usually I take my laxatives and give it two days and the bleeding stops and the healing process starts again and I heal a little bit until I jog or eat corn or something and my fissure rips again. ANYWAYS, the reason I bring this up again is because at this moment, I have very sharp pain from the procedure. It could be because my Surgeon burned the fissure to prevent it from ripping. The original post-surgery swelling and crazy bleeding stopped. But I am still experiencing this really bad pain. I was trying to figure it out and the only thing is because my surgeon burned the area and that’s what I am feeling? The pain lasts throughout the day and is probably about a 5-6 on a painscale of 10. So not tooooo bad, but definitely can feel it. It is still extremely painful to have a bowel movement. It still feels like glass, but I am not having any bleeding. So therefore I know it is not the fissure opening, again, why I think it is possibly the burn.

My bowel movements has been very soft and great consistency. I have been walking every day and started juicing (I don’t want too much fiber and I need the nutrients). I am still taking my sitz baths and rubbing the cream.

Two days ago, out of nowhere I developed a very painful skin tag right outside the opening of the anus. I have skintags from pregnancy on my upper thigh, but it has absolutely no feeling. But the one that I developed two days ago on my anus is very hard and verrrrry painful, unfortunately it happens to be in a very bad spot.

Well, these are just a few updates from the Botox if someone in the future is curious as to what to expect.

For those of you who had the LIS, I always hear about “immediate relief” from the surgery, I am just curious, how immediate? Like is there swelling and bleeding? How did the surgery go? What to expect?

Sorry to hear about the pain - I know it's so miserable and depressing I had my Botox 8 days ago and so far I guess it's going well as the pain is nothing like it was ! During my surgery I also had a skin tag polyp removed from the inside which basically because the muscle was in spasm prevented the skin growing over the tear and that's why they grow as skin tags - it sounds like maybe maybe your Botox isnt relaxing your sphincter and maybe you need more units because with the Botox the only pain should be passing the stool because it scratches over the tear / I hope everything works out for you !!

Sorry to hear your in so much pain, I have been suffering with a chronic fissure for 18months now, bloody nightmare, first they thought it was piles so banded them but was will in pain after a bm, so last month I was booked in for Botox it was about 3 weeks ago now and I have noticed the pain is much better and doesn't last for as long, thank god! My days are no longer planned around me needing the loo... it hasn't stopped completely but I'm getting there... 

i really feel everyones pain it's the worst feeling ever and it does make u depressed, I'm preying it heals, I'm due back next month for a check up so will see what happens next... what is LIS I thought I had read every option for fissures but not heard of this x

how are u feeling now Lee xxx

I am in very bad pain tonight and was wondering if this is normal and how long does it last

I took some pain meds but they r not working..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
