So, I've been very brave and persisted with going to the doctor's about my anal fissures that I've had for 13 months now (three of them ). I've been prescribed GTN cream finally but I can't use it all of the time because of the headaches and lightheadedness. My GP has said that he thinks that I need to see the surgeon but I really don't want surgery. I'm going to keep trying to use the cream and tomorrow I'm going to phone the local complementary medicine centre to arrange some acupuncture.
Anyone else out there suffering and wanting some support? Or have you been there and got out the other side?
