Hi all,
Just wanted to share how my Fissures are currently affecting my life, and future plans. and it would be nice to hear other peoples stories too
Well im 20 and male. My Fissures are currently stopping me living my dream. The Royal marines :(
im not planning to enrole for atleast another year while im still getting fit and waiting for it to be 1 year post eye surgery.
for one they stop my entry on medical grounds. and if i managed to pass the medical if would then end up being medically discharged i guess...
it also affects my training for the marines as i cant eat lots of meat and high carb foods to keep my engery up and to help my body recover, gym sessions are becoming more difficult and i dont seem to be improving like i used to.
the thing is aswell which annoys me. i only get pain when i have a bm as soon as its out im pain free and i sometimes forget i have two fissures.
also Surgery. again very grey area with the armed forces... and being so young i dont think i can justify the risks
