Hi Buttpainsucks,
Welcome to the forum - the club nobody wants to join!
How I wish I had advice for you, but all I can say is I feel your pain. I have never been a strong runner, but I was trying to get fitter by running, and I just had to give it up when I got a fissure. It did seem to make the pain worse.
Like you, I was able to do physical activity in the evenings (dancing, in my case).
So all I can say is, you are not alone. Many others have faced these problems. I am healed now, and while I haven't started running yet, I am able to be a lot more active.
I wish you all the best in your healing. It can take a long time, so don't get discouraged. You will have good days and bad days, but hopefully in the end it will all be good days.
Good luck!
Nifedipine/lidocaine, no help
Diltiazem, effective, but caused major rash
Nitroglycerine, effective.
Topical estrogen for final healing.
Gentle heat to bottom - pain relief, muscle relaxant
Kondremul mineral oil
Time - lots of time.
Status - Healed!
