Hi all
My search continues....has any one tried acupuncture to help with spasms associated with a fissure? There are obviously lots of creams and hot baths but I wonder if it could help? Sounds crazy but I'll give any thing ago to avoid any kind of procedure.
I don't heal well and I'm just so concerned that in having the fisurectomy and botox it might make something bad even worse again. Also I have not had any bleeding at all and it sounds like this is common post op, something else I don't want.
I tried Botox into Levator muscle. Was very expensive and didnt work for anal spasms. im almost at my wits end. no doctor seems to know anything about this. Im from South Australia. maybe doctors are more informed elsewhere.
Yes, I have tried acupuncture and it gave me pain relief. The reason why the pain relief was only short lived was that my main problem was not the fissures but at that time still undiagnosed nerve damage, caused by two Botox treatments. The positive effect the acupuncture had on my energy levels was truly astounding. Everybody round me noticed how I perked up again
If you live in London I can recommend a brilliant acupuncturist. need to be aware that some needles will be inserted at very delicate parts of the body near anus and perineum and for if you are a person who gets easily embarrassed about "that par"t of the body there may be psychological resistance, even fear,
I'm in Melbourne, Aus! But if any one else knows of any one in Melb, I will gladly take any info.
