Hi there..
I just want to start by saying, i'm so sorry for all of you who struggle with anal fissure(s). With that being said, i'm kinda thankful for not being alone with this (shitty) problem. I was diagnosed about 4 months ago, but i've had the problem now and then for the past 8 years, I'm now 26..(and a half!!..) But(t) not NEARLY as bad as the past few months. The pain has been.. well.. it can't be described.. I bet you a million dollars that the song 'ring of fire' by johnny cash, is written because of the pain of an anal fissure. just sayin' -_-
However, the pain is not as bad now, the bleeding stopped about 8 weeks ago, I was even *almost* painfree for a few days, but then it started again.. i think it's because I have problems with myyy.. poo's I have IBS, and several months of lots'n lots of fiber, stool softener, magnesium and so on has made my tummy very angry at me but i'm still not bleeding, so i just don't GET IT, WHY is it starting to hurt more and more again? I'm having botox in 9 weeks if i'm not completely fine by then. But i have to say, i've struggled with depression/anxiety for many may years, and i thought that was the worst possible thing you could struggle with.. I WAS WRONG. The pain in my a** doesnt exactly help me through my depression either.. it makes it much much worse. And the only thing i'm scared of now, is getting the extreme pain i had a couple of months ago. It hurts now too, but not that bad. Oh, i must sound so pessimstic If I do, thats simply because I am.
Anyway, since I believe that NOBODY deserves an anal fissure, i'll share the one tip that most of you probobly havent tried yet(thats because you have to pay some superduperfancydoctor alot of money to get the tip). This is probobly the MAIN reason why my fissure started to heal; when you go for a BM, sit up straight and hold your fingers right behind your anus, and PRESS WITH YOUR FINGERS. This will make the stool take a different 'turn', and it won't irritate the fissure as much. Doctors don't know this tip for some strange reason.. all they say is 'oh, it's just a fissure, nothing life-threatening.'.. i'm putting my trust in the fact that karma will come and bite them in the ass, if ya'll know what i mean..
Sorry for any typing errors, i'm from norway, and i don't know if my english sucks as much as i think it does
Last, but not least; when this is over, i'm gonna go and finish my full-sleeve tattoo with 'anal-fissure-survivor' on my hand! Nobody believe me, but I - a 26 year old girl, will wear it with PRIDE
And thank you for reading my post
