Hey Ale252
It’s definitely possible to workout with a fissure. I workout most days - I walk run cycle (standing up on an indoor trainer) and weight train (using light weights and body weight stuff nothing heavy) I would have lost my mind without. I have tried not exercising for months at a time and I feel even worse. Exercising helps with blood flow to the area and I believe overall it helps me to feel better. It certainly never makes things worse. Endorphins are much needed with this depressing condition. Like you I’m trying to accept this as part of my life - and not get hung up on curing it as clearly it doesn’t want to go away!! I’m better than I was but kind of stuck like this. Controlled discomfort I guess you would call it. Small pain with BM and low level burning most of the time! Exercising is my life line. Certainly a PT would be good if you don’t know where to start! Good luck x
