Hi. Like the title says, I'm a longtime lurker on this board. I'm a 37 yr old male living in the Long Beach, CA area. I've been dealing with a couple of fissures off and on for about five years now. I've mostly been treating myself through diet and supplements and my pain is a bit of a roller coaster, coming and going, from dormant to intense. After so many years, I'm guessing my condition is chronic and I'm curious to find out why I'm not fully healing and if there is more going on than I realize.
I was wondering if any of you can recommend some good CRS's and gastroenterologists in the Southern California area. I'm considering getting some professional opinions to hopefully diagnose me and help me out with my situation but in reading this board, I know how important finding good doctors can be.
Thanks for your suggestions and thanks for the board existing. It's nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with this.
