Katie, are you BMs super smooth, very hydrated and with no lumps whatsoever? I only ask because I have just realised after all this time that I am constipated when I would have sworn that I wasn't. The thing is, I'm as regular as clockwork every morning, have never ever had to strain to get a BM out, and they seem to be well formed like number 4 on the Bristol scale. BUT, when I started to pay attention to them, it turned out that they felt a little bit dryer than BMs after laxatives. I decided to take laxatives systematically every 3-4 days and I have since noticed a great improvement. My fissure has healed (for the time being) and the pain is definitely reducing. Anyway I thought I would suggest it to you in case you are doing the same thing as me and having unidentified constipation which is making your fissure re-open.
