Anal Fissure Support Forum

Thank you JR and Angel. Both you have been such great connections to have here. As both of you are aware, it was a long healing process. With many ups and downs in the healing, this board has been a constant source of support and advice.

Hello friends, Saw my CRS today for my second and what he called a "final post op visit." CRS said that I am fully healed from my one fissure and one skin tag excision. I am very excited. I haven't had bleeding for about 3-4 weeks now. As many of you know, that was my biggest problem. Daily bleeding...

Thank you Angel and JR! Your continued support is so refreshing. I still can't get over how great this site is! Running was great, no pain during or after, albeit a slight irritation (but the one I usually have). It was a race and I ran with a relative who is kind of slow, so I was able to take it n...

Hi friends, I am going to make this one quick because I really don't have much to say! Things are going really well around here. It's been several weeks now with no blood, in the bowl or on the TP (I was a heavy/chronic bleeder, so this is HUGE). I was able to go running two times last week without ...

I had a manual dilation (PBD) procedure in April and I didn't bleed for the first ten days, however, after that I developed bleeding.

After Insurance: $3, 000
Not as bad as I had imagined. It was originally estimated to be about $5,000.

Thanks Marin. Yes, the sushi is the one meal that I don't have any worries about. When people want to go out to eat, I have been quickly volunteering sushi. :D

Hi friends, I know it's a day early, but I will be really busy tomorrow! This past week has been really good. So far, each week has been better than the last. I am healing really well down there. It appears as if new skin has formed over the entire site (which includes the fissure and the skin tag r...

Hello friends, It's been 4 weeks. Can't believe it. This past four weeks has been a challenging yet enlightening time for me and my family. Seems like things are going pretty well and the healing process is continuing. I have had no blood droplets in the bowl since about a week and only minimal bloo...

That's not good news. I just discovered a place today that has 50 flavors of popcorn. Really unique flavors too. I had a few samples. We will see how that goes!
