Question 1

I'm a 34-year-old guy dealing with these annoying anal fissures for about 5 years now, and they seem to keep coming back. It's been happening since 2011, and when they appear, the pain is just unbearable. I've been following the doctor's advice  more fiber, stool softeners, using Lox 2 jelly, and taking sitz baths. They heal only to reappear like every 2-3 months, especially after episodes of very soft or hard stools. There's this fleshy part around my anus that sticks out, which I think makes things worse. A couple of months ago, I had a sigmoidoscopy, and while everything seemed normal, they did find a small fissure and small piles. The doc just said to keep on with the Lox 2 jelly and add some AnoBliss too.

I'm wondering if there's a way to heal these fissures permanently without surgery. Is it alright to keep using Lox 2 jelly every time I go to the bathroom? And, are these recurring fissures something that could potentially lead to rectal or anal cancer?

Question 2

I felt a hard lump in the back of my throat, kind of like a bone, and I can touch it with my finger. I have Achalasia, and it's been really tough for me to eat and drink because of the pain. Do you think this lump is related to that, or could it be something I should be worried about?

Consult ENT

Question 3

I'm really worried because my histopathological report for a tuberculosis ultrasound-guided biopsy came back negative, but my CT scan shows I have enlarged lymph nodes and tuberculosis. I've been on anti-tuberculosis treatment for over three months, but I'm not seeing any improvement. My abdominal pain is getting worse, especially in the upper abdomen. Could it be something else? The biopsy was negative for cancer, and Buscopan injections don't relieve the pain at all. Only Tramadol helps. What could be causing such severe pain, and are there any tests that could help figure this out? Someone mentioned a capsule endoscopy - could that be useful?
