How do you know if there is abscess?

I’ve had a fissure for over two months now. I feel pressure whenever I sit, especially if I lean backwards. Does anyone have any feedback? I haven’t had a fever or anything or pus

Fissures as a gay man

This is so tough. I’ve had to put a pause on my sex life for over 2 months. I can’t even get an erection because that causes my sphincter to contract. I feel like I won’t ever heal with out surgery. Botox was 1.5 months ago. Didn’t help. I tried NTG, didn’t work. I’m on nifedipine for almost a month now and barely relief. As someone who is a bottom, this has made me so depressed and angry. Everything hurts. Just a rant.

Shaving could help?

Does anyone else feel like their asshole hairs are rubbing on the fissure constantly aggravating it? I can see my hairs on top of my fissure and I’m thinking of plucking or trimming them carefully.

Laughing re-tears?

Has anyone’s fissure reopened while laughing. I laughed today and I felt immediate pain and now it’s been throbbing the whole day and unfortunately I can’t control my laughter. I’m so miserable that I made things worse. Or is it just a spasm?

Constantly moist or dry?

Should I constantly be putting Vaseline on the fissure or leave it dry as much as possible? I feel like when I leave it dry it gets worse. I had Botox two weeks ago and my post op instructions say keep dry but it doesn’t make sense to me 😭

Never going to heal from friction?

I feel like the friction whenever I walk, sit, or drive will never allow me to heal. When I wake up from bed I feel fine but the second i start walking pain. I had Botox two weeks ago and not really any relief. I don’t know how I’m supposed to heal, I can’t stop walking…. Anyone else dealing with this issue? I was thinking about getting gauze covered in Vaseline and putting it in my underwear as I walk. I use Vaseline currently but it’s not helping really.

Botox 7 days ago still pain

Please tell me it gets better. My Botox was 1 week ago under anesthesia. I felt no spasms for 24 hours cause of the lidocaine but since it wore off it’s back. Walking too much or sitting triggers pain. Does it get better at the two week mark? My CRS said I should get relief a few days after the procedure but I didn’t feel much better.
