My AF is inside (about half an inch) toward the 12oclock position (toward the tailbone/spine, not the bran buds...good one, gareth).
When I poop, I generally feel a prickly sensation as I'm passing my BM. I know I'm in trouble when I start to poop, and things just stop...like it's too big or too hard. Then, as it passes, it sort of feels like I'm pooping a pinecone. So it's not quite as bad as the "razor blades" lots of folks describe. This prickly pain comes from the fissure itself.
After the BM, I'll often feel soreness from that area (sometimes my sitz bath takes care of it, and sometims it lasts for a half hour or hour afterwards)...exact location is hard to pinpoint...sort of feels like it's coming from the whole general area about half an inch inside.
I'll also feel intermittent mild burning/stinging throughout the day. Again, it seems to come from the fissure, or that general area, although sometimes it's hard to pinpoint.
