anal fissures

[DIAZ45]

i have sever pain when passing stool. i have in the past been diagnosed with anal fissurs and had surgery to fix diverticulitis. the dr stopped giving me hydrocortozone suppositories because he feels long term and excessive use can damage my anal area. he started me on nitrobid for the first time but i don't see improvement yet only have been using for 4 days but it is not relaxing the anal muscle in that area. when applying the medicine i notice it shut tight and hurts to press through to apply the medicine. Any additional suggestion for treatment and can i use hemmoroid medicine along with nitrobid to help with me passing stool.

I had a fissure in December of 2005 after pooping a real hard one.....a few hours later I had pain like you wouldn't believe, but I was too scared to get it surgiclly treatated, plus i couldn't afford it.  So I had to tought it out from '05 to '08, till I took Metamucil, tried dieting till I found out the fiss had caused anal fistulas in me with fever. Now I hope they can treat my fissure as  well as my fistulas. I just hope I didn't sign my death warrant that way

I too had a the same problem. Got suggestion from doctor at Vydehi Institute of Medical Science and Research centre Bangalore(http://www.vims.ac.in) for it. Let have good diet for few months everything will be normal.Have plenty of leafy and fibre foods in diet . Lack of water in diet causes this problem., so add lots of it
