I never write reviews, but I had to for this product. Pranicura COMPLETELY changed my life. I had been suffering from an EXTREMELY (can’t emphasis that enough) painful fissure for 3 months. Going to the bathroom felt like glass was coming out, I could hardly move without jumping in pain, and I had to walk a certain way to try not to irritate it. It also itched extremely bad at times. I was basically home bound because I couldn’t go out like I was.
I had to have my colon removed years ago due to Ulcerative Colitis, so I go to the bathroom a lot more than the average person now, which made the fissure absolute hell. Every time I went to the bathroom I had to run and get the sitz bath right afterwards and sit on it for 10-15 minutes each time, because it was the only thing that provided any type of relief. My life had become consumed by the fissure and I was emotionally and physically exhausted.
My doctor prescribed a nifedipine/lidocaine cream and said it should heal within a few weeks. Well it didn’t, it only got worse - much, much worse. My GI doctor and colorectal surgeon both basically told me there isn’t much that can be done for fissures except the cream and giving them time to heal. I didn’t have the option to try botox either. I felt completely helpless and desperate. I never thought I would ever consider going back to an ostomy, but I started to consider it since I couldn’t go on like I was. The thought of that was devastating for me though.
Then I found Pranicura online, read the reviews and thought it was probably too good to be true, but decided to try it anyway because I was to the point where I would try anything. It arrived very quickly and after only the FIRST USE I could already tell a huge difference. I made sure to keep the cream on constantly, and to my surprise the pain and bleeding was completely gone within a week. UNBELIEVABLE!
I am going on 10 weeks of using this cream now and although my fissure is not gone yet, it is definitely shrinking. I recently saw my colorectal surgeon again for a follow up visit, and he said it looks like it is healing well. I made sure to tell both my doctors about this cream, and was surprised neither had heard of it. It’s so odd to me that the prescribed creams don’t help at all, like many others have mentioned, yet this does.
The instructions say it can take up to 12 weeks to heal, so I am hopeful that it will be gone within the next few weeks. But even if it isn’t, I will still rave about this stuff because it gave me my life back.
