Welcome Sean! Glad you found us. Sounds like you are in pain with a fissure?

You're talking to the right people, but we need to know what the problem is before we can advise you.

Believe me, we have heard it all before and advised thousands before you.

Feel free to rant, Sean!!!

CRS are the best for dealing with this. In the meantime, read up on some of the information we have about Anal Fissures on here. It is very common, but just does usually hurt like hell for most people. 

What happens is that the internal anal sphincter (the one that we can't control) tenses up like having a cramp in your calf that you wake up with, except often quite a lot worse with the pain, which can go on for hours. Some great posts on here have been written Davo, one of our moderators who does not come in any more but is getting on with life again! I will put a link to his posts. Reading them will give you an idea of how this all progresses and some ideas of what to do. 

We are here to help, answer questions, and listen! 

Here is the link to Davo's posts:

When do you see the CRS? It sounds to me - though cannot be sure - that you have an abcess, and this is something that needs looking at by a surgeon sooner rather than later.

Sorry you're in such pain!

Would suggest you go to the Emergency Room. Don't wait until the 15th December as to me it sounds like infection that has spread. Not to be messed with.

Also, the fact that you're walking 28kms a day is not good for this... If nothing else you should get some sick leave.

I don't know how you got it, but you need to get it sorted soonest.
