I was diagnosed with an anal fissure couple years ago. was prescribed rectiv ointment but would cost me 660.00 out of pocket. are there any alternative treatments for anal fissures? something for pain and to help reduce the anal fissure?

Depends: If the fissure is acute and shallow, correction of an abnormal bowel issue will resolve it in 2-3 weeks. A chronic fissure may stop bleeding but may not heal without surgical correction. You need to be properly evaluated with a discussion of your diet, fluid intake, bowel pattern and confirming the diagnosis with followup to confirm actually healing even if the symptoms resolve. See a colorectal.
