13 Years, One Symptom

How unusual is it to have Crohn's for 13 years, but only one symptom? I've had crohn's (or have been dx with) since 2005 and it has only manifested as rectal fissures. The first was awful and incapacitating, but Remicade made it so that now I just get small fissures that actually do heal. But, I'm pretty upset that I have to live with this pain every day and it effects my life badly. I get up every day at 4 am to make sure there are plenty of hours to get over whatever pain my bm causes is gone by the time i go to work. This makes it so I can never stay up late, don't want to travel much and never want to stay at anybody's house (well, I kind of hate that anyway).
But with all that out of the way, is it unusual to have just rectal symptoms from Crohn's for years and years? I feel luck and unlucky at the same time.

I'm still on remicade and I was last scoped about 4 years ago (due for another). The doctor has never found much in my gut, just a wicked fissure. Had a huge one toward the back, then a milder one toward the front, and now one on the inner side that acts up sometimes. Never have D or C and never have. Used about ten different prescribed topical drugs before starting Remicade and months of antibiotics (of all that, only Cipro worked!). I have found that just about everything that contains gluten can make me hurt, but I don't blame gluten itself. I have a very strict diet and usually don't eat any of the offending foods, but like this week, sometimes it doesn't matter; I just hurt anyway. I did SCD for 3 months and my pain was pretty minimal, but i also lost about 20 pounds that I needed to keep. I'm a very healthy weight now (not skinny, not fluffy).

No, I've never actually had a fistula. Just a very deep fissure. Couldn't sit much for a year! Now I'm just annoyed by them.

I'm sorry, Steve. From what I've heard, that's generally how it happens. I kind of consider myself luck (ironic since I wanted to die at the time) that my initial pain was so awful and debilitating that I was diagnosed immediately and got the right treatment. At least so far it seems like the right treatment....
