i have got three small lumps left and right and one at the base of anus and they are really painful and discomforting. i kept myself in silence for 6 years thought they were piles but my GP said they are anal fissures. what i have read myself says fissures are only on the line of anus in 12 oclock position but mine is on the sides. is it possible? i am waiting to be seen by a doctor in an outpatient clinic but pain is unbearable..any help advise..i am taking fibre eating fruits and drinking loads of water i go to the gym regulary and healthy but i can't stand this bloody pain
