Diltiazem 2%?? - Bowel Disorders Message Board

I just wanted to know if anyone out there has used this stuff before to help heal their fissure.

I have been using it for about a week now and i must say it seems to be helping, but is it supposed to burn every time you put it on your bum. It usually burns for about 5 minutes then calms down and i feel great. I am taking metamucil and eating a more healthy diet. My BM's feel like someone is stabbing me in the *** with a stick on fire.

I have a very minor fissure (according to my doctor) which has never caused bleeding but tonnes of pain.
Is it normal to have a fissure that doesn't bleed?
I also have two small hemmoroids which are about to be hopefully taken off next week,
Has anyone ever had the rubber bands to remove the hemmoroids?

I am only 25 and i can't live like this forever,

WIll this ever get better.

i been on it and it will work as long as you fissure is not chronic, keep you stools soft,no pushing and the pain is from the spams and you fissure
need the diltiazem to stop them to heal.do not let it get worst try to
follow a good diet and not be constipated,fissure bleed and sometimes do not
depends were it located by the pain is real and you need to stay on the med
until its fully healed or it will come back again and could become chronic.
surgery is your last resort but i think you will be fine .
