Extremely painful Analfissure - Any suggestions

I developed an anal fissure 7 days ago- probably due to low fiber and water in my diet (and spicy buffalo chicken bites..grrr), MD gave my xylocaine ointment and nitroglycerin 0.3% ointment- I am soaking in hot baths and am sitting on a heating pad and am still in EXCRUTIATING pain! Has anyone had this problem and do you have any helpful suggestions?
