Reply to "Burning, stinging, low volume liquid output"

So, I probably panicked.

It did sound consistent with an anal fissure. The symptoms have fully resolved themselves. It took about 7 days. My doctor told me she would have wanted to take labs and a stool test if the burning/stinging got worse but luckily I didn't have to go through all that.

I think it was either eating Sichuan pepper or cake that did me in, combined with being in a hyper-stressful/emotionally triggering environment. I was back visiting the town where I lived when I was first diagnosed with UC in 2003 and where many of my worst illness memories happened.

Once I got home I still had some healing to do but eventually when I returned to my regular routine, sleep, and diet I started getting better.
