I am in agony with my fissures since the birth of my son 3 months ago. My GP prescribed rectogesic cream but I really don't want to use it. I can't risk the side effects as on my own with DS a lot. Also, the NHS says not to use it if breast feeding. Spoke to doctor about breast feeding concerns. She said it would be fine...still haven't used it!
Today has been a shocking day for the pain. Since BM this morning it has been agony and I have been crying pretty much constantly!I have changed my diet to fruit and veg and lots of water to no avail. Taking movicol after the lactulose stopped working but this seems no better. So scared of eating.
Been reading old threads about Anoheal but they are all quite old so though I would ask for people's experiences of both creams so I can speak to doctor again tomorrow. I also have large piles and the fissures seem to start at the bottom (ha ha) of them. Worried the Rectogesic will make them worse. Also, it seems to be connected to my episiotomy scar which hurts at the same time. Aaarrrggh, help!
