Hello, sorry to bother you all... I've had problems with a fissure for about 10 years, however the past few months it has been more recurrent. I have a real fear of developing anal abscess (or something else serious) and on applying some Rectogesic inside just now, I felt a lump actually on the anal sphincter thingy. I know you can get a sentinel pile, but this is INSIDE and it's v painful, wasn't there last week. Could it just be a fissure? Can that make it feel like a lump inside?
Thanks for reading.
