Anal fissure: You might be describing an anal fissure. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/anal-fissure/basics/definition/CON-20024998. Make sure you eat enough fiber & drink enough fluids to keep stool soft so that you won't have to stretch as much. Some topical over-the-counter anesthetics may offer relief. If not, go see your family doc for evaluation & treatment.
