Hi, I was due to have advancement flap surgery on my fissure today. Woke up to find my surgeon couldn't do the surgery as he said I have 3 deep fissures surrounded by many little fissures. He gave me a.botox injection and he is sending me to a dermatologist instead. I'd just woke from surgery and was in a state so I didn't think of any questions at the time. I don't understand what's happened if a fissure needs surgery it needs surgery. He said the dermatologist can prescribe different creams but I have had gtn and diltiazem neither worked. I have also had 2 previous botox injections they didn't work either. This has been going on for over 3 years. Has anyone ever heard of having so many fissures or has anyone had any different medication from a dermatologist? I'm at my wits end I thought today was the day 3 years of pain and bleeding was over but I feel like I'll be like this forever now. Nic
hi Nic
you must be really going through it. I haven’t heard of this but then mine has only been going on since August 2018. I’m sorry I cant help but I’m here if you need to let off steam x
Dear friend sorry to hear about your problems had Botox injections myself plus advancement flap operation done without much success so I know how you feel I still suffer from leakage when sitting dont have much pain my stool is always very soft in the morning which dont help my problem unlike other people need soft stool I often wonder is the problem more to do with my diet as last year was in philippines and to my great surprise my problem cleared up completely until I arrived back again in uk what do you think as advancement flap operation I dont think many doctors go down that route.Edmund please reply
