Anyone ever deal with an anal fissure?

This is so embarassing. I stopped taking my stool softeners a couple weeks after delivering. I had 3 days of really bad constipation last week. I finally had a bowel movement and it was excrutiating. I have been taking colace stool softeners, fiber gummies, and a probiotic all week, and I'm still in so much pain everytime I go and there is so much blood. I can't figure out why the stool softeners aren't helping. I'm not constipated but they're still hard enough to hurt coming out. I have hemmorhoids from pushing during delivery but this hurts much worse than any hemmorhoid I've ever had. Anyone else been here before? Ugh I'm not looking forward to having to go to a doctor if I can't find relief.
