My first doc, who had no idea what she was doing, thought that my anal tag was a pile. The second doc said I had both. The third doctor was an expert in Butts, and said no, its just a tag, and not even a very large one at that.
What you're going to do from here on out is get better, because you're getting the help you need - gathering information, getting the correct treatment, and in general moving towards health instead of away from it. All good, positive steps. I refuse to believe that any of us here have nothing but butt pain to look forward to.

It may not be(and probably isn't) as serious as you think. It is deadly searching on the net and self diagnosing. I know I have done this, sending myself into utter panic and stress.
I am too in Fissure hell at the moment, it does take over your life, but with hope and help, we can support each other and get better. Please let us know what happens.

Don't panic. Even if you do have haemorrhoids which don't resolve, they can be treated, as can a fissure, and you come up normal again at the end of treatment. I had a haemorrhoidectomy in 1998, recovered very quickly and was OK, with a normal butt, all the way until summer 2009 when I developed an anal fissure. On examination, it was also found I had more haemorrhoids (at the previous surgery, the surgeon only excised the worst). So, I had remaining haemorrhoids banded in 2010 AND, several months later, the LIS operation for the fissure. Butt went back to normal again and no more pain, no problems. I have still kept to the healthy diet I adopted when I developed the fissure however.
I know that surgery may not be the treatment for everyone, and if you can treat haemorrhoids and heal a fissure without it, great. But there is treatment for haemorrhoids if non-surgical treatments don't get rid of them.
