Hi I have been dealing with this for a little over a month now. I sit all day at work and I got to a point where the pain was so bad I just couldn't do another day and I feel like the sitting was making the fissure worse. I have been out of work for almost a week now and have been dieting for about 3 weeks and using nitro for 1 week. I cannot sit for more than 20-30 minutes or my pain becomes an 8 out of 10 pressure type pain. I can stand walk around okay lately although I used to to feel a scratchy mild pain when I walked too much, but that seems to have subsided since the nitro. I have to wait another week to see a CRS. Does this sound normal for a healing anal fissure? I feel like I am getting better, but I am scared of losing my job currently trying to get an accommodation standing desk so I can work. I have panic disorder and the pain activates that unfortunately. Thanks for any replies.
