Hi telv, I too am a Newbie and still learning about this condition. Perhaps you have healed your fissure but still susceptible to sphincter spasm, which will predispose you to an increased chance of a fissure recurring. So I would think that you should follow all the wonderful information on this forum regarding drinking lots of water, increase fibre intake and avoid constipation at all costs. I am unsure if there are any long term side effects from continous use of nitro cream but would imagine the benefits might outweigh the drawbacks. It sounds like you are otherwise pain free which is a great place to be.
