Just found the fact that although fissures happen in the all age groups (from newborns to seniors) the MAJORITY of chronic ones are in the third and the forth decade of life !!!!
Yeap - can't wait to get to be a granny - oh happy days

that makes sense, especially for women... that's why so many crs's are reluctant to do surgeries like LIS, because the muscles weaken on their own with use and other traumas! my crs said that he would rather keep doing botox than do the LIS, since i'm so young and still plan on having more kids.

I can't wait to be a weakened old lady and to be able to pass gas and have a BM with no pain!!! :D

I dunno, I kinda miss being a teenager where I could eat and drink whatever I pleased with reckless abandon and had never heard the words "anal fissure" before

LOL - you were just lucky dude with that diet LAMO - you have no idea how many teens and early 20 ies people we had here :( :( :(
Since teens are gone and mid-age sucks with a fissure - I am looking forward to my "loose days"

Haha fissy bring on the loose days, I can't wait, I hate my sphincter the way it is these days, I just want to be able to drop my pants, cough, drop and exit the bathroom all within a few minutes.. :D

Since I can have a BM w/o pain, does that mean that I am old?????????
Steve,
I LOVE your new avatar!! Do you own stock in the company?????

LOL Steve - yeah , I am sooo looking for that period of my life at this point LOL - maybe it is one of the "good sides" of having a fissure - one is not afraid of aging or many other things that would otherwise freak us out . After the butt pain, most things seem irrelevant and bearable
Cheryl - you have no pain since you have no fissure and no big spasms and that is fantastic - no matter what age you are
