I've first suffered from a fissure in 2003..it lasted for around 5 weeks then healed up ...i was in agony for lack of a better term.
The fissure has since returned febuary of this year ...and by god has it reaked havoc ...i was off 6 weeks sick from my job ...each day was the same , would go to the loo and it was like passing a load of broken glass out your bum ..it would bring me to tears and i was straining beyond belief.
Then came the after pain , oh my god it was dreadful ...i would just go to bed and try to zone out ..couldnt watch the tv or anything the pain just took over everything ..and it would go on for hours ..only late evening would the pain subside to a level that i could do things.
It lasted 6 weeks before it started to heal ..at the time i was using rectalgesics cream ....sore heads galore using that stuff but it seemed to work as it finaly healed up and i was painless for 3 months until the begining of july when it returned after a bowel movement at my place of work ...i knew straight away by the blood on the toilet roll ...i was like ....not again....this time its not went away ....ive just went the last 3 week with no pain ...and today its back .....and id just been to the hospital 3 weeks ago and was givin Anoheal from the hospital ...im back at the hospital in october ...i fear an opperation is going to be in order
