painful, that's the thing with fissures, just when you think they've healed they come back with a vengeance, btw I had mine under control with Diltiazem, just had severe itching then it started again, it's a vicious cycle of healing, tearing, healing, and with that comes scar tissue which in itself causes additional problems with further healing.
The only real way to get rid of the scar tissue is LIS and give your fissure the best chance of healing. LIS is by no means an instant cure though, you still have to be really careful with food and BM's of which I'm still learning!!
