and are all tears in the skin called fissures?
i have one which keeps coming and going between the cheeks about a cm above the anal opening, it feels like a 'dent' in the skin, its very painful when sitting in certain positions or touching it, but luckily as its not on the anus as such, it doesnt hurt when having a bowl movement.
however i also have several very small tears all around and on the anus. are these fissures aswell?
i ask because even though i have been back and forth to the hospital about 10 times, each CRS cant seem to make up there mind what it is.
i even got told once i had 'sore bottom syndrome' i literally wanted to punch him square in the face when he said that
i am going private soon as i have the money, i am just wondering if anyone else has 'multiple' tears. i see alot of talk about having a 'fissure', but not fissures.
