Hi msimon,
Have you had a pressure test conducted? This will determine if the problem is high resting pressure in your sphincter muscle, which causes re-tears and new fissures to form. Please try and keep positive... I know it's hard, and you are feeling down with all of this. Have you considered taking ADs for the anxiety and stress that comes with this. They really helped me out of the black hole I was in. I didn't know what to do and I didn't want to wake up, as the pain and depression became too much.
We are all here for you and you can always PM me if you need a friend to talk to. I have been in that desperate situation, as have many others on here.... It helps to talk. Sending you hugs. Xxxxx
