Lars - buddy

Don't be down again - I think that it is even better that your symptoms are not consistent in nature ! It just shows that things are adjusting down there the best way they can . When poop is loose it burns, when harder it hurts , and sometimes butts act up "just because"

They are notorious with needing time to heal

- it is just the fact and we can do little about it . We just need to give them the optimal conditions so they can do that in record time (diet, soaks, creams, LIS , etc. ) and than we just need to be endlessly patient

.
You already had infection one time in your life and you know how it looks like , so I doubt you have it now. And yes, fissure is most likely still there - needs 8 weeks to close in the best case scenario and 7 months for somebody like Buttgirl. When fissure is there, inflammation is there - no way around it. Hey - but I can bet you did not try camomile and white oak compresses to calm it down LOL - you can even cool them in the fridge and put them on for immediate relief

- not a big hustle, believe me and did sooooo much good for me

If you are lazy during the day - you can plop one between your cheeks over night - how about that ???
Once fissure closes completely all will calm down - just give it time buddy - OK ? :) 4.5 weeks seems like eternity, but really - it is JUST 4 weeks "in fissure time"
All the best Lars - try to go out and have some fun when you can, so time will fly faster
