Brief Answer:
You should be fine in three to four days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.

If doctor after examining your fissure has said that it has healed and if you are still experiencing pain. It is due to residual tenderness of tissue post healing.

I would have suggested you to avoid spicy foods, increased intake of liquids and encouraged sitz bath( I think this might have advised to you earlier). I would advice you to avoid constipation. Review after a week if required.

You should be fine in three to four days.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
