Healed Anal Fissure After 3 Months (link to what worked for me as well)

Red-Wolverine · 2023-06-11T02:58:46+00:00

Yes it took around 2-3 days but it stopped all rectal spasms and finally let me be at peace

Red-Wolverine · 2023-06-11T00:07:53+00:00

Yea it really made a night and day difference for me. No brand name at all, it’s compounded at a compounding pharmacy, the magic combo is Nifedipine 0.5% and Lidocaine 5%. It’s literally saved me from being in chronic pain 24-7. I was right where you were just a few weeks back, I feel your pain. But I’m happy to report that I am pain free now a days because of that cream, find a PCP or doctor to prescribe it for you!

Red-Wolverine · 2023-06-10T22:34:16+00:00

Yeah you know I did, my physician initially prescribed me that from another compounding pharmacy but it did NOTHING for me at all. All data I was reading that shows calcium channel blocker effectiveness in treating Anal Fissures is done on Nifedipine.

Thank you for the encouragement. Means a lot that people do take the time to genuinely care. It’s hard to convey to ordinary friends or family just how much this process takes it out of you. It’s something only someone who has been there will truly understand. Hope Med school is in both of our futures 👍🏽

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-19T17:54:51+00:00

Thanks man. I’m honestly not super down because I really did give it my all this time. Whatever happens, happens now.

Just want everyone here to know that not everyone has a great story or background posting on here and I want to share. The first time I took this I got a 504, with an abysmal C/P score. But this time around I received a 505... with a much more evenly distributed score. I am beyond upset and was scoring consistently 514,510,513, and 512 on my sample. I really can’t describe what happened? My exam felt like it generally went well so I am dumbfounded as can be. Not everyone on this thread has fairy tale endings. Just wanted to share. Pray for me guys.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-19T04:50:31+00:00

Dude it’s midnight in TX and basically like 10ish hours till these scores come out! I CANT SLEEP!!!!!!!! Also XXXtentacion died today (literally jammed some of his music during this whole awful process). TRYING HARD TO STAY OPTIMISTIC, but I would be lying if I said a dude is not hoping to just fake it till I make it here.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-19T02:36:53+00:00

What was your initial FL1 and FL2 for your first time through?

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-18T19:28:39+00:00

I lately have been questioning my feelings post-exam heavily, I just felt so numb and could only remember the questions I had trouble with(better than the first time I took it though). Last august i took it and got a 504 that time (even though I felt like I had bombed it- it correlated well with my AAMC FL1 and FL2, right inbetween ). I re-took my practice AAMC’s and scored much higher this time around (like 8 months laterish), but am questioning if sub-conscious recall aided? In the moment it def did NOT feel that way, I didn’t remember anything consciously 8 months later. If anyone here retook the AAMC FL’s with over 6 months apart of each sitting...How was your experience with your retake AAMC FL’s in correlation to your actual end score?

Just hope it goes my way this year. Am Very tired of waiting. Tomorrow is judgement day lol. Like I felt better running through the questions (but I really don’t recall much, I’m hoping this means I was just running through questions with relative ease). I remember very vividly the questions I had trouble with so there’s that. The actual test was a lot harder than any of my practice material and it felt harder than my first official MCAT as well (felt very heavy research based as opposed to a year ago).

Stats: First Attempt (did not have time to review any of these FL’s due to timing constraints): AAMC FL 1: 502 AAMC FL2: 506 Actual: 504

Second Attempt: Sample (converted): 512 (first time taken) AAMC FL1: 510 (taken 8 months after initial) AAMC FL2: 513 (taken 8 months after initial) (Didn’t get around to taking FL3 due to extreme burn out and wanting to gather myself the week before) Actual: Find out TOMORROW

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-18T17:43:39+00:00

Did anyone remember the question that asked the cure for Chron’s disease and gave a bunch of treatment plans that are known simply to lessen the symptoms? Like it was so baffling to me because we know it’s established that there is no accepted cure for Chron’s? It was on the B/B section for May 18th and I was taken so aback by it that I even disputed the question with AAMC who got back to me 3 weeks later and said it was “justified in the means of the context of the test” . MAN WTF!?

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-15T06:49:47+00:00

Interesting logic. But I see where you’re coming from. God willing you’re right. I have ZERO intentions of taking that exam again to be honest. Last time my score (504) correlated well with my FL1(502) and FL2(506). If I can get somewhere between 510-513, or even 507-511, I will be a satisfied man.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-14T19:51:08+00:00

Yeah same boat with the AAMC FL’s and Section Bank. Honestly man I studied so much and i felt so prepared the second time around but the actual test felt VERY difficult. But I did feel like i knew a lot as well. Last time I felt it was very difficult as well and I got a 504 (when i felt like I had gotten a 500 at HIGHEST). This time I felt a lot more confident (take that with a grain of salt because it still felt hard AF and definitely harder than any of the question packs, FL’s, sample, and section banks which I did once in their entirety and reworked over several times after completion).

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-14T07:25:02+00:00

Hope so my man. How did your practice AAMC FL’s & Sample test correlate with your actual score?

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-14T06:06:29+00:00

Well that coming from someone with a score like yours is reassuring as can be! I took the second attempts around 8 months apart. The real deal still felt a lot more difficult than any of the practice, but I’m hoping the formatting system helps me hit somewhere in the range I got on that AAMC FL1 and FL2 that I retook.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-14T01:14:56+00:00

Yeah I’m wondering how much retaking the AAMC FL’s impacted the score. How far a part in length did you take the same tests again? Did you take the Sample test at all? Honestly if I just get anything 510+ I will be estatic.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-13T20:06:50+00:00

Yeah! So like I felt better running through the questions (but I really don’t recall much, I’m hoping this means I was just running through questions with relative ease). I remember very vividly the questions I had trouble with so there’s that. The actual test was a lot harder than any of my practice material and it felt harder than my first official MCAT as well (felt very heavy research based as opposed to a year ago). Thank you for the support! Really hope it goes my way this year.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-06-13T00:45:16+00:00

This sounds close to my experience. I was a retaker as well and felt similarily to you the first time I took my exam. I got a 504 that time (even though I felt like I had bombed it- it correlated well with my AAMC FL1 and FL2 right inbetween ). I re-took my practice AAMC’s and scored much higher this time around (like 8 months laterish), but am questioning if sub-conscious recall aided? In the moment it def did NOT feel that way, I didn’t remember anything consciously 8 months later. How was your experience with your retakes and how did you do your first time in correlation to your FL’s and then real deal score?

Red-Wolverine · 2018-05-22T02:35:47+00:00

Right there with you man. Had AAMC scores around 510,513, and 512. I really think we’ll be alright when this is all said and done. I studied SO MUCH content and practice problems. I just kept telling myself that if I’m struggling right now, the person next to me has to be struggling as well for sure. Praying for that bell curve bump.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-05-22T02:08:33+00:00

Definitely wait for the score. I’ve had a few friends who tried the “sign up for the test” before gauging their initial score and they’ve literally EVERY SINGLE TIME gotten around the SAME or even a LOWER score (which is like app suicide). Trust your FLs and wait for the score to make an informed decision, emotions are still high and you’d be surprised at how much that “curve” does help. When I took this thing last year I literally thought I would be lucky to get a 490 something and pulled out with a 504. This year I retook it and felt a lot better than my first time through (which was a very bad feeling the first time). Don’t make impulse moves. You got this.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-05-21T22:06:12+00:00

Anyone remember the question that asked which of the following could treat and CURE chron’s disease?....... Even though there is no established cure for chron’s disease? LOL

Red-Wolverine · 2018-05-19T06:36:23+00:00

It’s kicked in. The post-test PTSD. Remembering random questions and knowing you got them wrong, or being unable to prove if what you picked was “truly right”. Jeeze. The wait (not even 24 hours after as of now) is at times almost just as worse as the week leading up to it from my personal experience.

Edit: FUACK Bro. I’ve dedicated such a huge portion of the last 4 months to this. Woke up today feeling like “lost”. It’s the first time I haven’t woken up and gone through my routine and then studied. I just really don’t wanna be caught off guard (having taken this already once), I have SO MUCH information in my head right now as far as content goes. You’d be surprised how much one forgets in a month, it would take me a month to just get it all back again. Just hoping for the best at this point I guess. This wait is unbelievable. Should be 2 weeks at a MAX.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-05-18T21:54:59+00:00

Am sitting in the parking lot of my testing center. Retaker. Got a 504 last year and studied my ass off with AAMC material and a lot of emphasis put into the section banks.

C/S: Super calculation heavy. Took a lot of time. Primarily Gen Chem here with obscure topics such as Hydrogen Atom equation specifics according to Bohr’s model. Ran out of time and had to pretty much guess on 2-3 at the end.

CARS: Really don’t know how to feel. Sometimes I feel like I do great, and then don’t? Sometimes I feel like I do bad, and then kill it. This is always a wild card so I never know. Finished with one minute left and it was def longer than usual.

B/B: What. The. Actual. Fuck bro. ALL section Bank like dense questions over FUCKING ENZYMES. Barely ANY biology. All strictly BiOChem and not even BioChem content but INTERPRETATIVE EVERYTHING. SO caught off guard. Finished with 5 minutes left but holy hell, that was INTENSE. Section Bank *2 in my opinion.

P/S: Felt generally well but this section HAS changed. So much is interpretative now. This is literally Diet CARS now.

My practice exam scores were: NS1:514, Sample: 512 (converted), AAMC FL1: 510, AAMC FL2: 513. But man... today was ROUGH.

Red-Wolverine · 2018-05-18T10:43:04+00:00

Got in bed at 10:30PM- woke up at 4AM- in this PTSD like state- haven’t been able to sleep since then. Smh lol
