I have the "shards of glass" pain when having my daily BM and have had this every single day for about 2 months now, along with a small amount of blood when wiping.
I try to sitz bath straight after.
I don't really have any other pain (e.g. no spasms or pain AFTER the BM; only incredibly bad pain and some blood DURING the BM).
Does this mean my fissure is not so bad or what? I don't understand why everyone else seems to have ongoing pain but I don't (not that I am complaining!) However, the fact I am bleeding every day makes me think the fissure is tearing every single day and will never heal....
I've just started using GTN 0.2% but am wondering about LIS and whether that is something I should pursue given it's been over 2 months of pain during BMs now. On the flip side, it's not really preventing me living my normal life except for the extreme pain during BMs, so maybe LIS is a step too far? However, the anxiety of going for my daily BM is really starting to take its toll.
