Daisy...pain, oh yah...this tops the pain list for many. I have read on this site of people who have tattoos all over their body and in sensitive areas, people who have given birth, people who have endured all sorts of horrible pain over their lifetime...and many say that their fissure is right up there if not the #1 pain.
In fact -- i was telling a friend (who happens to be in his late 80s) of my predicament and his face turned white...he then recounted the pain of his fissure to me in great and exacting detail. He told me that he has gone through a lot of medical issues and lots of pain but he has never forgotten how painful and difficult his fissure was.
So YES...it is incredibly painful. I used to describe it to my wife as follows -- imagine that you are passing razor blades and shards of glass through your anus and then when you are done that you have a hot poker jammed as far up as it will go and the heat just blasts and radiates...of course, if you have not been through it it is really hard to imagine that feeling.
As for support at home -- I was lucky in that my wife has been and continues to be incredible and understanding. Some others on this board have been dismissed -- bottom line is everyone here knows you are being truthful and you should feel very validated here. Come discuss on this board of you dont get the proper support at home....perhaps have them read some of these postings...then they might wake up to the hell that you are enduring.
Keep the ?s coming and hang in there....it WILL get better
