Use a stool softener and sits bath with epsom salt I also got a fissure oil from Amazon does wonders good luck

In terms of pain management, Calmoseptine has saved me on so many occasions. It’s an over the counter paste that has a cooling effect. I buy disposable vinyl gloves and tear of the fingers to use them over my pointer finger to apply it to the area of concern.

Find a colorectal surgeon, and they can share the treatment options. From my research, i went through the standard course of options. For me, step 1 was a compounded lidocaine gel, Sitz baths, and ensuring I had enough fiber. When that didn’t work, a Botox injection to relax the sphincter and encourage the fissure to heal. That didn’t work, so a Botox injection while in the OR under anesthesia. That didn’t work either, so I had a lateral sphincterotomy on Monday. I’m told the outcomes are good for this surgery so im hopeful!
