I've been 'laid up' with this fissure and something as simple as going to get groceries (pushing a full cart with two kids in it) makes my fissure flare up in pain.
Is exercise good? Bad? Light exercise only? What would you recommend for someone who hasn't been getting any exercise?
And swimming: does the swimming pool (ie. chlorine or saltwater) irritate? Is the hot tub good, or too full of chemicals?
I would love to go swimming, but I'm scared I won't live past the experience!
