Advice ?

So I made a post on here maybeeee a month ago , I will say my pain has gotten a lot better (knocks on wood) but I still get the pain ,especially after a BM. My pain used to be an 11 now I’ll say it’s a 5? Maybe a 7 on a bad day but it’s improved. I went to my appointment yesterday and my doctor said my fissure was def healing but it wasn’t done , he recommended I continue with my lidocaine and nifidepine (def is spelling this wrong but too lazy to get the accurate spelling lol) and then to follow back up in March . He did say if I felt as if nothing was trulyyy improving we could start Botox so the reason for this post is for those who had the Botox what was it like for you?? What was the pain / healing process and how often did you get it done ? Did it heal the fissure in the long run? He also brought up getting the surgery the fissurectomy (once again I may not be spelling any of this right lmao) but I def don’t even want to risk the terrible side effects it could give a person.
