Yes mothers moving to another country does help with anxiety, unfortunatly mine came back!! but have total empathy with you, and am sure anxiety has an affect on my 'bowels'. With the flexi if the GI is concerned there may be something wrong in you bowel then best to find out now and get it treated. Yes my flexi was painful, the emema was actually the worst before the flexi due the verosity of the bowel movement. The pain for the flexi was short lived though, when the scope was initally put in yes I grabbed the nurse, however once in it was tolerable and after I felt like I had been kicked but within a couple of hours I was feeling better. It really depends on you pain threshold I suppose. If they find something with the flexi at least you can move forward. My fissure has not healed with treatment and I am now scheduled for surgery later this month. I am hoping this will break my vicious circle, I can't say I am looking forward to it and trying not to get anxious about it, though my gut is telling me different at the mo! I keep trying to think long term in that yes it will be painful for a few weeks but I try to focus on the long term relief I should get from the fissure. Good luck with what ever you decide.
