Many people on this forum talk about painful anal spasms; what does this feel like? This is probably a dumb question, but is it obvious when you're having them? I have so much pain in my anus, I'm not even sure if I'd recognize having a spasm down there, or if I'm having them all the time??
If I don't have anal spasms, and my fissure doesn't ever bleed, do you think this means I have a better chance of healing without the LIS?
