Hi. I've been a silent reader of this blog since October. My case of anal fissure started last July 2012- bleeding and sharp pain while defacation for 1 week. I though all was well until after 3 weeks, a hard stool passed and caused pain and bleeding again (for 4 days). At this time, (December 2012), I no longer feel any pain or have blood in the toilet paper as I wipe after my BM. However, my concern is that I frequently get a random pain/ discomfort in the anal/rectal area (can be dull or sometimes a little sharp) at any time of the day. I also noticed that I may have spasms. I'm concerned if this is a case of chronic anal fissure or something else. I know that anal fissure pain is felt during defacation but for my case, it can be at any time of the day. Also, there are no bumps in the anal area as I am also thinking if this could be an abscess. No drainage as well. Could this be a case of chronic anal fissure? please advise. Thanks!
