Sounds like a typical fissure to me.
Which cream did you use? I had problems with nitro and diltiazem, but nifedipine has worked well.
Make sure to ask for a Colorectal Surgeon, because they treat these MUCH better than Gastroenterologists and General Surgeons. I went through multiple GIs before I got to a CRS that helped me.
If you've had this for over a year, I'm guessing that you'll need surgery. I had my last fissure for about 15 months and my CRS said that there was no way that it would've healed on its own.
8/09 - 12/10: fissure, cured by LIS/fissurectomy
1/17 - present: fissure/hemms, healed but pain remained, 3 CRSs (nifedipine, infrared coag) were no help, cold dilating >= 1" helped but still have pain when sitting
