I may be a newbie and ignorant so forgive me, but I remember reading somewhere online that most fissures occur in this position, that is, if you imagine your rectum as a clock face, the tears are usually where the hands would be if it were 7:35.
Oddly enough that's where mine is.
Any one else know what I'm talking about, or is this jibberish from the pain of this morning's fresh tear?

Mines more in the twenty five to eight position I think you may be right with that though. Definitely somewhere between that and 5:25. :)

That's exactly where mine is. Weird.

I'm not sure how to guess this, but mine is on the right side close to the opening as it can get, but not visible at all. I guess I'm on a digital clock (smile)

7:35 is more accurate for mine also, I guess is due to the big flap of skin that is in there and makes the fissure lean to the thicker side of it.
I was worry in the beginning because you read that is either at 6 or 12:00 anything elsewhere is sign of something else, but my doctor reassure me that is just a fissure.
Odd.
