Has anyone healed a chronic fissure after months?

what does the botox feel like if you dont mind me asking? and the op?

botox feels very numb, you lose all sensation for a few months - going to the toilet is a very strange feeling!

So it stops the pain?

yes for about 3 months, then it wears off. you could be healed in that time.

I have been on laxatives for 5 months now. 2x coloxyl with senna and 1x movicol is what ive been taking. Although the past 3 weeks theyve just made my body have the opposite reaction and i struggled to go so i went three days without them a few days ago and that was awful too so now im back on them. I'm so terrified of being on them for this long and it stopping me from going completely or becoming dependent as some people have told me. I have changed to lactose free, cut out bad foods, cut out bread, eat so many fruits and veggies and am still having the HARDEST bowel movements i dont know what else to do. I cant take too much else and have to watch what i have as im breastfeeding. & the creams have not worked at all.

so have you tried miralax? thats what my doctor put me on. they started me with a half cap once a day which worked for me some people may need adjusting more or less until you go the desired consistency diarrhea is just as bad as constipation when you have a fissure but it regulated my bowels and made it much easier to go it also doesnt force you to go i would take it and usually go the next morning which helped me get on a regular bowel schedule then after that i would clean myself up really well draw a hot bath and sit in it for at least 20 minutes. i sat in the hot bath at least 3 times a day because the hot baths themselves do help with more pain than any pain medicine they gave me. they gave me morphine at the hospital and thay only took the pain away for 5 minutes so i know how much pain you must be in. the part that sucks is for 3 months i only ate oatmeal and salami. i stopped eating anything that i found constipated me and i still dont eat those foods also i still have pretty bad flare ups with my roids if i eat anything spicy so i dont eat spicy food at all anymore i also completely stopped with soda and carbonated beverages the entire time i was healing anything too acidic will burn like the dickens. the dr wanted me on veggies all the time but when i was in forums a lot of people said the fiber bulked them up so much so that in the end it didnt help and a lot of people said to just eat as little as possible so that your bowel movements arent making it worse. has your doctor prescribed you diltiazem? have you been prescribed anything for anxiety too? if not talk to your dr about it because the diltiazem will help with the healing of the fissure itself and the anxiety meds will help you to relax which would probably do your spasming sphincter some good.

i know that you want to breast feed but you also need to think about your body and your health. i would possibly fore go some of that breastfeeding in order to get you on some medicine that is going to help heal this or your only option is going to be some sort of surgery after so long these things stop being acute and become chronic which only certain procedures will help once it gets to that point. i know breast feeding may be important to you but in the long run being a healthy mom is going to help you and your baby more i dont have children but with what i went through for that 3 months i wasnt even able to move so i dont know how i would have been able to take care of a child i cried and cried uncontrollably almost everyday and honestly i wished for death for a long time before i finally started to heal and i only started to heal after the diltiazem the miralax and the anxiety meds and i literally didnt move off the couch except for my bowel movements and my sitz baths.

No I haven’t and I just looked it up I haven’t seen it in any of the chemists I’ve been to either. Maybe not sold where I live. I have found that my body takes to things well like the laxatives worked for a while and then my body just rejects anything after a while. Last night I upped my dosage to 3 laxatives last night and 2 this morning before going and I still had pain. I think that’s because my hemorrhoids have become a external when I go though (goes back up once I’m done) but it blocks it off from fully coming out and makes it cut worse if that makes sense.

Yes I would like to continue breastfeeding and my daughter won’t take a bottle anyway. I know my fissure has already reached the needing surgery stage but am just too afraid, as much pain as I’m in I’d still rather continue breastfeeding. I’ll deal with it. I’ve never heard of anyone mentioning not eating veggies though?

I might have to go to my doctor about getting on anxiety tablets. I’m completely against medication as I tried overdosing on them last time I was put on antidepressants as they made me feel worse but I guess if there’s a 5% chance it could help me out I’ll try anything. Plus I feel the way you did, yesterday I was just thinking of how easy death would be rather than be in pain every day going to the toilet but I would never leave my kids. It’s crazy how everyone I read about that has this feels the same, it brings us down so much. It’s awful 😦

i just tried searching for that and all that came up was movicol which im currently taking, it may not be in australia? i did have soft BM's for 3 weeks and then it just all went to hell again.
