Anal pain: Possibilities include a fissure, thrombosed hemorrhoid or perirectal abscess although the fissure is most likely. Try warm applications and apply anusol or nupercainal ointment. Keep stools soft by taking colace (docusate sodium). See your physician if these measures don't help.

Anal Fissures?: Based on your symptoms, you may have anal fissures, which can be very painful. they are like paper cuts of your anal tissue. i recommend seeing your cliniician who can examine you and confirm your diagnosis. If it is anal fissures, they can prescribe nitroglycerin or nifedipine cream. In the meantime try lidocaine and hydrocortisone cream and flushable diaper wipes. Take care.
