I'm experiencing this on-and-off burning sensation near my lower left rib. It feels just like a hot burning thing going on, especially when I'm lying down. It's so strange because when I'm busy with work or moving around, there's no pain at all, but as soon as I lie down, that hot feeling pops up near my left rib towards the back. It's been two weeks already! I'm not in pain, more like a discomfort really, as the left side aches near the lower rib with this heat thing happening. Any idea what this could be and how I could maybe get rid of it?

I've been dealing with a fissure for over a year now and it keeps coming back every few weeks no matter what I try. I've cut out outside food completely and seen both allopathic and ayurvedic doctors but nothing gives me a permanent solution. Is surgery really my only option at this point or are there other ways to fully heal this

if conservative therapy fails ,fistulectomy is advised.
