Deep as in really far inside or deep as in the tear is deep (like into the muscle)? I wonder about this as well. Mine is internal, but I can see the small tag and beginning of the fissure if I'm relaxed enough. It looks a bit deep to me. I can't see the muscle (at least, I don't think I do... I thought the muscle would be a white color, but I'm not certain). I'm just concerned if mine will heal by itself (i.e., without surgery) if it's at a certain depth and size.
January 2013 - Diagnosed with fissure. Eventually turned chronic.
History of IBS and anxiety disorder, along with fear of using bathrooms other than my own caused it.
Tried Diltiazem, but eventually developed a rash.
LIS surgery scheduled August 26th.
