Should I be worried? My anus is tight to the point where the stool gets squished, being constipated,having an anal fissure and a tight anus I cried to sleep thinking my life was over, what's going on?

    Try a stool softener and do a sit bath 10 mi, three times a day to help with the healing, takes 6 to 8 weeks to heal, if pain gets worse see your GP. hope this helps, it can be painful.
