Anyone had this as a result of anal fissure?

I have had problems with a fissure for almost 6 years now (i also have internal haemorrhoids ... great stuff!!), my flare ups are almost always triggered when I stop watching what I eat and become slightly constipated. My usual symptoms are extreme pain and blood when going to the bathroom and these symptoms tend to calm down after 2-3 weeks. However over the past 4 weeks, while having a 'flare up' I have began to pass mucus containing blood, this has been happening both with and without a bowel movement. The feeling begins like im going to pass gas but quickly becomes apparant there is something else, the feeling is very urgent and I have to get to the bathroom asap. This happens most days, sometimes only once, usually in the morning before a bowel movement and often again in the late afternoon/evening without a bowel movement. There isnt always blood with the mucus but the majority of the time, its there. I had these symptoms a few years ago for the first time and went to the doctor who said constipation, which at the time I was and once I was more 'regular' again the passing of mucus went. Has anyone had this before as a result of a fissue? ive read a few stories where this has been a symptom. I have gone to my doctor btw, they are doing stool sample and bloods as I have a family history of Chrons so they want to test for that as this bloody mucus is a symptom, however I dont have any other symptoms - I dont feel ill, not lost weight, no diarrhoea or even using the bathroom any more or less than usual. anyway, just wondered if anyone else has had a similar issue. I have pretty horrific health anxiety so naturally ive diagnosed myself with cancer!!
