I have an anal fissure and had two skin tags and a hem as well. Exactly a week ago I had them removed and the fissure "cleaned up" with a Botox injection.

Prior to the procedure I was in excrutiating pain. To the point, I was in tear and screaming every morning during bowel motion. Now, post op it's not as bad however it's still very painful during and for many hours after.

I am taking laxculose also with pain killers. I also do salt baths a few times a day.

My high fibre diet is also helping keep my stool soft.

Does anyone know if it is bad that I am having bowel movement at least twice a day? How will the wound heal if I keep going toilet?

Pleaseeeeeee give me advice. I can't tolerate pain anymore ! sad

      The pain felt like a tearing pain. Something really sharp and then after it would be throbbing and very sore.

      Now post op there's still pain but less than before

    Its really heartbreaking... I can feel your pain. I really want to help evryoen here.. I am suffering from anal fissure for 9 months it comes and go but atlst it doesn't stop my life.. sad hey when you take sitz bath just add cipladine or betadine solution the main cause of pain in fissure and tags is infection i take two baths with this solution until i am relieved i know its for lifetym but dont lose hope okay may be we r too strong to bear all these problems thats why god has gievn us this pain u r stronger and yess i massage my anus with a wocain its anaesthetic, mix it with coconut oil (natural) first apply this cream okay if this gives you burning sensation then mix it with coconut oil and Vaseline(pure) and just use your index finger i know it will be painful in beginning but after two or three times it will be normal so just take it with ur finger and apply it in your anal area i don't know if u can do this after this botox thing.. But try all these i have a tag and a cut in my anal area and yess stools must be soft. Anyhow try to make them soft exercise and walking gives u more relief as it soften your stools i know we cant do that while in pain but include it in your routine plz may god gives you relief soon plz plz god... I know how painful it is...

      You are right when you said, its for lifetime.... :-/ I got my fissure two years ago and now again six months ago i got my fissure back....its been six months...all i eat is fiberous diet and my doc gave me nifedipine ointment, it helped me a lot in allow the blood circulation around fissure and helping to heal.

      But its the slow process....it just takes time.

      Hi srig,

      When you said you got it two years ago, did it heal completely after that? Like did u have BM without any pain?

      Thank you, it is a hard hard thing to deal with. I just want to get my life back on track which is hard to do with the pain!

      The point where u don't feel pain anymore ?

      Yes, i guess so.. I started to have food which i liked and had good BM, even sometimes hard one but no pain but it seems it was always there and over did it six months ago eating all junk food and making my BM hard and now got the fissure and slowly dealing with it.

      Feeling better than what i felt in January but its not completely going off as it did two years ago. it seems like forever and have to live with it

      How is the pain now. Can u still complete day to day activities or does it limit u?

      Does the pain stay after ur BM as well ?

      During BM it doesn't pain at all, it feels like i dont have any fissure at all. After two hours...i feel a small minute pinch kind of feel down at the back, that stays like for an hour or two after that i feel nothing. 

      the days goes on.

      same story repeats everyday. the pinch kind of feel is reducing slowly very slowly.

      thanks a lot..wish u the same. Yeah many times i lost hope and visited doctor numerous times and all the time he said to me to calm down and examine and explained it that how it looks and how i have to regulate my diet and lots of water and less stress and exercise.

      After a while i started to feel, may be the fissure came into my life to course correct my habits and diet especially...making me to follow healthy diet route....always good in the long run

      Thank you.

      So did ur doc say that excersise helps or that it makes it worse ?

      I agree with the diet part. I feel healthier and look better but I do sometimes crave junk here and there. But out of fear of getting constipated I stop myself from eating it

      Not particularly what kind of exercise, he just said walk for 30 mins

      out of fear pooping hard, i only took liquid food initial months....that made me to loose around 20 pounds in three months...now i m slowly intaking protiens and moved to doing weights in gym.

      Hopefully it wont come back as severe

      When i am constipated and stools get hard then i feel burning and pain... I try to avoid rice and more junk food by gods grace i eat everything yes but it has chnged my life i have to apply those creams everyday before i go to bed and in the morning yess smtimes i dont even feel its there in my butt... I take 4 to 5 litrs water a day.. Its a must it softens your stool i try to include any kind of fruit or salid in my diet cucumber does miracles i try not to take stool softeners..cuz after while it will stop working for sure but yess when it is triggered u can do anything to soften ur stools... Yes it does go after following all these methods i never did exercise in my life now i do crunches planks running evrything... rolleyes and yees do some research what makes you constipated... Just dont eat those things plz. I wish u a better life that you deserve. Eat everything just not much fast food okay and with lots of fiber u need to take water to make it work.
