I am both shocked and thrilled to find that there is a forum devoted to anal fissure sufferers!
I was diagnosed with a fissure a couple of years ago and it is chronic. I am going to now spend several hours (or more), going through as many posts on this board as I can.
Thank you so much to whoever started this board and to all of the posters who are here to help, encourage and support their fellow sufferers.
I will also try to share as much knowledge as I possibly can, because even though I was only diagnosed a couple of years ago, I know now that I have been suffering with the fissure for at least ten.
