Anal Fissure Support Forum

Hi there, welcome on board! At least you have people who you can talk openly to now! It is a very embarrassing condition - although actually, once you start to talk about it to friends, I've found it isn't so embarrassing, although no-one really understands unless they've had one. Have you thought a...

I had exactly the same happen about 10 days after fistula surgery - it was an infection in the wound. If you can get an emergency appointment tomorrow with your GP, then they should give you antibiotics and it feels better after a few days. (If yours is the same, of course!)
Good luck!

Oh no Andrea! Oh poor you. I think it does remain very very fragile down there for months after it has supposedly healed. They do tend to come back again just when you think you've got rid of them. :( What do you mean, jelly?? Could it be blood clots?? Hope you feel better very soon xx http://r15.im...

I think if you haven't suffered the pain of a fissure though, you can't possibly understand what all the fuss is about - after all, it is essentially a very small cut! If you had that size cut on any other part of the body and made a huge fuss screaming and yelling in agony, I think we would actuall...

It will iritate it and dry it out - ouch!

It certainly does sound like a fissure! I would trust my own instincts, and try to get another opinion if it was me.

Hey Macie, cutting down on movicol 6 days out of surgery doesn't sound like a good idea http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/affraid.gif If it were me, I would go to your GP and see what he says - my opinion is that you could bulk up on fibre to make the stools bigger, but take the movicol so that they re...

Yes, fissure pain sure is hell on earth! When I had spasms for hours, I couldn't do anything except lay screaming in pain and rolling round the bed - I know how you feel! And I used to want to die too - I was scared to wake up each morning, and got "bathroom phobia" LOL! I do think doctors should be...
