well i had something next to my skin tag or just irritated vein pop earlier this week - on monday as a matter of fact. i bled and now i don't feel the pressure it had been building up.
i wasn't in any pain compared to the fissure pain but now i feel back to normal.
even though my fissure is healed, i still have to deal with this skin tag that is all external and it always has to stretch when the bm comes out. it would be nice if i could just somehow get rid of it as it seems to be my only issue left.
for the most part, i have been great. i would say like 95%. compared to my fissure days + skin tag issues, i was like at 70% on really good days.

overall, my answer to your healing question is that it is sort of like a tango. you will have small number of good days - maybe with some irritation but not in any shape as much pain as you have experienced - and then have a set back. the days between the good days and other set backs can vary but as you are healing get farther apart, which means more good days before another set back. and the set backs can vary from really bad to very minor.
it could be a way of life you learn to manage it.
and once you learn that and find some tricks to use, you can plan ahead with most certainty. the thing about planning ahead, is that if you know in two weeks you will want to do X activity, you must try to do all the things right with regards to diet and lessening your anxiety, etc. so that when that day comes, your bum should be okay.
