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

    Hello I know you posted a while ago, but I hope I can still get some support and answers. i dealt with anal fissures for about 3 years, coming and going and i had to have a skin tag removed to try and prevent them, the doctor numbed me with novacane injections which hurt so unbelievably bad, but once i was numb i didnt feel the incision. however, once i got home and the numbing wore off, i was in the worst pain of my life, its been almost two weeks and the past week has been agonizing.. going to the bathroom hurts so badly to the point where im screaming in agony , crying, & my depression and anxiety have heightened. the doctor finally recommended Calmol-4 suppositories and they have been the only thing thats given me relief, i was finally able to go to the bathroom with only mild pain, still painful but tolerable. i have been reading that the pain should stop after two weeks.. is this true? i am still afraid to go to the bathroom and normally i would go 6-7 times a day but im down to only 2 times because of the fear. i dont really feel backed up, but i just want to not be afraid of the toilet. im a 22 year old female and i feel like my life will never be normal again.
