Hi Kell,
Do you mind me asking where are you from?
I'm not sure what kind of doctors you've been seeing, but after 10 years, your fissure is chronic and LIS surgery should have been talked about by now... Honestly I can't believe it's never been mentioned!
If you haven't already been seeing a CRS( colorectal surgeon) then you need to get a referral, as Val said.
They specialize in fissures and butt problems and should know and be confident in the surgery... If you already have been seeing a CRS, and they haven't brought up or suggested surgery, then you definitely need to try and find another one.
This is definitely not a life long problem! With a good CRS who is well qualified, it can be taken care of.
