Hello everybody, Tony here. First off before I start to vent I want to say thank you for the replies especially from Scientist and Savaici, you guys are great. Well last night I pulled out the mirror to see how my fissure was doing whether it was healing or not and I noticed in the front of my you know looks like another fissure or a hole. It is directly across from the other one but no pain. It is also more on the outside of the rim but it looks more like a hole than anything. When I seen it I almost puked. The funny thing is my GP noticed this and even mentioned this to me but the CRS didnt , Go Figure. I don't know what the hell to think anymore. I'm ready for the nut house.everything I have read about the fissures in the front is just not common in guys. I think the stats are 1% of males who develop a fissure are anterior. So now I have both. Anterior and posterior. That's great isn't it? I do have to say three weeks on the Rectiv has simmered the pain down but I know in the back of my head its still there. And I'm starting to think I have a long road ahead of me.I've been preparing myself for what the cause of these fissures could be and trying to stay focused. I know straining has a factor. There's something else also. There's something wrong with me...I tthink I'm sick.

I think we are all a little sick here. I feel your pain. Those meds never helped me. Coconut oil suppositories and soft BM's. That and cushoins. THat was the ticket for me. I don't get out the mirrors. I got by feel - only if something is new and crazy, but I guess it was for you. Just keep your poos soft. Did you try any diet mods?

Hi nurseebol, just more water during the day and back to hot coffee in the morning. I went on this ice coffee kick for a while and noticed strainig after the fact. I'm also trying to gain weight due to losing about ten pounds in the past year or so. So I've been eating a lot more and we all know that's no good for fissures. The hot coffee does the trick for me in the morning.
