Keepingthehope,
I wouldn't stress on this too much, especially since you say you had no bleeding or no real stinging. Was the pain simply during the process or did it linger for a while after or worsen?
In my experience, I never bled with my fissure - I just had that awful searing stinging throbbing aftermath of pain that lasted for hours. As my fissure got better, the afterpain and intensity reduced incredibly but I would still have pain sometimes with a BM as the stool passed over that delicate area but it did NOT last or get worse after, as it did previously, which was an idication for me that I was actually healing.
Pain-free BMs are also extremely positive signs and if you haven't been really suffering much since that BM, then I would say you are doing OK and keep up with all the really good work you are doing!!!
All the very best to you in your healing :)
