I was diagnosed with Sciatica a while ago and have had 3 steroid injections. Now, I am unsure; I think I may have an Anal Fissure. I am in great pain and cannot bear to sit on any clothes seams. It fells as though someone is turning a knife round!

I am going back to the GP to be examined.

If I may explain, there is a very dry sore area on one side of my Bum and that is where the pain is. Whether it is Nerve pain eg Sciatica or an Anal Fissure I do not know. Any guidance would be much appreciated as to the symptoms thank you
