question: For the past three weeks I have suffered terrible back pain, primarily when I rise from a sitting position. I am just now able to move pain free. In addition to this I have noticed bright red blood in my stool of and on. I have noticed that at times when I drink alcohol in excess, this bleeding occurs. I asked my Dr. about this years ago and he thinks that there are fissures in my anus that are causing the bleeding. Should I be concerned?
