So I'm back after 7.5 years. I use to post under the name Pgre but had to re register. I got my 2nd fissure in 2011 and had it for about 8 or 9 months, can't remember when or how I healed. I recall using Rectiv for about 3 days no more than that. I stayed on Miralax for about 6 months and also used cocunut oil. I never thought I would be here again, but here I am. I had been completely fissure free up until now, eating and drinking whatever I wanted.My fissure started end of February, i was not drinking enough water , had guests over, was busy cooking cleaning and had way too much cheese. I regret not talking a stool softener right when i noticed the constipation, it's just so frustrating and disheartening to do this thing all over again. Best wishes to everyone else here

Wow, this is so discouraging... Sorry to hear this. And I used to believe that if you pass the 2 year mark without issues you will never experience this again.

This is my third fissure, each occuring at the same place and after about 7-8 years. Hoping to heal soon

sorry to hear this I think I’m on bout #5. Been around here since 2008
