Question: I have been suffering with an Anal Fissure since the end of January of this year. The doctor started me on lidocaine which burned so bad I just couldn't bear it. Since then I have been on several other creams to help heal this literal pain in the ass. More pain than I have ever endured before. I had my first fissure when I was 27 years old. This one is just relentless. Nothing has eased the pain. I was rolling around in pain for hours in spasm. I was put on tramadol for pain and then a muscle relaxer to help the spasms and the pain. I would take a muscle relaxer 1 to 2 times daily and 1 tramadol with 3 advil once a day. Finally I was given hydrocordisone acetate suppositories. I have finally gotten some relief after taking these for two weeks. I am out of state (so my ins. is out of network and won't cover the surgery that I was told that I needed to have. My question is this. I still have some pain but much less...thank the Lord. After I stop using the suppositories will the pain come back? I am due to go back home in two weeks and have enough suppositories to last me till then. Do I continue this medication even after being on it already for two weeks? But most importantly is it just covering up the fact that I will in fact to have the surgery in the end? I would appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you kindly.
