Ff, sorry to hear you continue to struggle. With all the trauma down there for so long I would think you would be having a lot of pain sensations that may not actually mean there is any damage. I have had pain down there for years, many years before I got an AF, and there was never anything to be seen. Sometimes burning, sometimes prickling and sometimes crawling. Nerves can play tricks on us too because they refer pain from one place to another. It's weird, when I had my fissure, I would get pain on the opposite side of my butthole. I also tend to get knife pains anywhere around the entire sphincter at any time of day. I can go many days without is and then BAM! I am really trying to just ignore all this pain bullsh** and get on with things. I will wait to see what my CRS says but long ago I realized I should stop trying to correlate what hurts where and what exactly it means, as it just drives me bonkers. Much more easier said than done, I know.
