I’ve suffered with anal fissures on and off for 2 years and it’s hell. I have bad IBS and usually very loose stools, but whenever I have a ‘normal’ solid bowel movement (not even constipated, just average!) I will instantly tear even after months of being pain free. My consultant mentioned that Botox would be the next treatment to try since creams don’t seem to help.
Has anyone had this done and how was it for you? I know a side effect is gas incontinence which I’m very concerned about as I work on-site every day and am extremely gassy due to the IBS.
