First of all I just want to say thank you to everyone on this forum. I've been suffering with a fissure since the middle of April and I thought I was being a huge wimp. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that this little cut has reduced to tears. (Sorry, but it's true.)
After spending every second of every day for the past two months thinking about this pain in my butt non-stop, I've bit the bullet and scheduled an LIS for Tuesday morning at 8. I can't sit down without taking an advil. I'm a 24 year old guy who just finished university. I should be enjoying life not spending all day under his sheets trying to get his butt to stop aching. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes. Wish me luck.
Edit: Okay, surgery is due in less than two hours. Wish me luck guys!
