Fissure question

shmtty28
How long does the pain usually last?  Ive had a fissure before.  I have gotten the bleeding to stop with ducolax and Metamucil.  Just the pain is still there.  It's been almost two weeks.  How much longer can I expect it to last?

I haven't seen my doctor yet.  If it continues into next week I'm going to give him a call.
